Imagemagick · Imagemagick · CVE-2018-8960
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ImageMagick version 7.0.7-26 Q16
**Description**
The issue is related to the `ReadTIFFImage` function in `coders/tiff.c`, which does not properly restrict memory allocation. This leads to a heap-based buffer over-read, potentially allowing a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For ImageMagick version 7.0.7-26 Q16, consider disabling the `ReadTIFFImage` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `coders/tiff.c` component to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
