CVSS v3.1

Medium
| Vector | AV:L/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 7.0.9-0
Description
The issue arises from the
TIFFGetProfiles() function in /coders/tiff.c, which calls strstr() and causes a large out-of-bounds read when searching for dc:format="image/dng" within profile due to improper string handling. This occurs when a crafted input file is provided to ImageMagick. The patch uses a StringInfo type instead of a raw C string to remedy this, potentially impacting the application's availability.Recommendations
For ImageMagick versions prior to 7.0.9-0, update to version 7.0.9-0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
TIFFGetProfiles() function until a patch is applied. Additionally, avoid using crafted input files that could trigger the out-of-bounds read.Exploit
