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

Description The issue is related to the ReadPCXImage function in pcx.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 ReadPCXImage function in pcx.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the pcx.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the ReadPCXImage function with untrusted files until the issue is resolved.
