Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick versions 6.7.8 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the Magick png malloc function in coders/png.c, which does not use the proper variable type for the allocation size. This might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG file that triggers incorrect memory allocation.

Recommendations For ImageMagick versions 6.7.8 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the issue with the Magick png malloc function to prevent potential denial of service attacks.
