Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Imager, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the library.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when using an image-based fill on a large sample output image. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted image for which the number of input channels does not match the number of output channels.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 0.64.
Solution:
Update to version 0.64.
Provided and/or discovered by:
