Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick version 7.0.5-5

Description The issue is related to the ReadSUNImage function in sun.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak) via a crafted file. This is due to a buffer overflow in memory. Exploitation of the issue may enable a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (loss of memory access) using a specially crafted file.

Recommendations For ImageMagick version 7.0.5-5, consider disabling the ReadSUNImage function in sun.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the sun.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the ReadSUNImage function until the issue is resolved.
