CVE-2017-18273
CVSS v2.0
7.1
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ImageMagick versions 7.0.7-16
Description
The issue is related to an infinite loop in the ReadTXTImage function of the coders/txt.c component. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, specifically CPU exhaustion, by exploiting the vulnerability with a specially crafted image file.
Recommendations
For ImageMagick version 7.0.7-16, consider disabling the ReadTXTImage function in coders/txt.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the coders/txt.c component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the GetImageIndexInList call with untrusted image files until the issue is resolved.
