Description:
Marcus Meissner has reported a vulnerability in ImageMagick, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the ImageMagick graphics library during decoding of runlength-encoded BMP images. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted BMP image.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Solution:
Update to version 6.0.6 or 5.5.7-28 or later.
