ImageMagick EXIF image file buffer overflow
| imagemagick-exif-image-bo (17903) |  High Risk |
Description:
ImageMagick is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking in the EXIF parsing routine. By sending a specially-crafted image file containing malicious EXIF data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system, once the malicious file is processed.
