ImageMagick ReadDIBImage function buffer overflow

imagemagick-readdibimage-bo (36737)

High Risk

Description:

ImageMagick is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the ReadDIBImage function. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted image file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the victim's privileges.

• Canonical, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
• Canonical, Ubuntu 6.10
• Canonical, Ubuntu 7.04
• Gentoo, Linux
• GraphicsMagick, GraphicsMagick 1.1.10
