| 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 version 7.0.5-5
Description
The issue is related to the ReadBMPImage function in bmp.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. An attacker, acting remotely, can exploit this issue by using a specially formed file, leading to a denial of service.
Recommendations
For ImageMagick version 7.0.5-5, consider disabling the ReadBMPImage function in bmp.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the bmp.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the ReadBMPImage function with untrusted files until the issue is resolved.
Fix
DoS
Buffer Overflow
Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime
