ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images.
A heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in ImageMagick's coders/dcm.c module prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40. This flaw occurs when processing DICOM files with a specific configuration, causing the decoder loop to read beyond the allocated buffer. Exploitation can result in Denial of Service (application crash) or Information Disclosure (leaking heap memory). Fixed versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 address this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
ImageMagick contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in its DICOM file processing module (coders/dcm.c) in versions before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40. The vulnerability arises due to the decoder loop reading past the allocated buffer when handling DICOM files under certain configurations. This can lead to application crashes or leaking of heap memory, potentially exposing sensitive information. The issue is resolved in versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can cause Denial of Service by crashing the application or lead to Information Disclosure by leaking heap memory contents. There is no indication of privilege escalation or code execution impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-15 or later, or 6.9.13-40 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation steps are specified or required.
