CVSS v3.1
6.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ImageMagick versions prior to 7.0.5-0
Description
The issue is caused by an integer truncation problem in the coders/pict.c file, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing the application via a crafted .pict file. This can be exploited by using negative numbers when specifying the size of a field, potentially enabling an attacker to forge cross-site requests using a specially crafted pict file.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 7.0.5-0, update to version 7.0.5-0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of .pict files or disabling the vulnerable coders/pict.c module until a patch is applied. Avoid using negative numbers when specifying field sizes in the affected module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
