Graphicsmagick · Graphicsmagick · CVE-2016-7800
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GraphicsMagick versions 1.3.25 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer underflow in the `parse8BIM` function, located in `coders/meta.c`, which can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a crafted 8BIM chunk, resulting in a denial of service, specifically an application crash.
**Recommendations**
For GraphicsMagick versions 1.3.25 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `parse8BIM` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `coders/meta.c` module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `parse8BIM` function in the affected GraphicsMagick versions until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
