Imagemagick · Imagemagick · CVE-2017-12418
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ImageMagick version 7.0.6-5
**Description**
The issue is related to memory leaks in the `parse8BIMW` and `format8BIM` functions in coders/meta.c, which are connected to the `WriteImage` function. This is caused by a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause memory access issues.
**Recommendations**
For ImageMagick version 7.0.6-5, consider disabling the `parse8BIMW` and `format8BIM` functions in coders/meta.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `WriteImage` function in MagickCore/constitute.c to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
