Description:
Damian Put has reported a vulnerability in ImageMagick, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "ReadPNMImage()" function when decoding PNM image files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into viewing a specially crafted PNM image.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 6.x up to and including 6.2.1.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, scan using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
Update to version 6.2.2.
