ImageMagick ReadSGIImage() function buffer overflow
| imagemagick-readsgiimage-bo (28372) |  High Risk |
Description:
ImageMagick is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the ReadSGIImage() function. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted SGI file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
