Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Specifically, prior to versions 6.9.13-49 and 7.1.2-24, a crafted MVG (Magick Vector Graphics) file could trigger a stack overflow. This happens because of a missing depth or visited-set check when processing the MVG file.

The issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-49 and 7.1.2-24.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to a stack overflow when processing a specially crafted MVG file. According to the CVSS v3.1 score, the impact is primarily on availability (score indicates high impact on availability), meaning it could cause the software to crash or become unresponsive.

The attack vector is local (AV:L), requiring low privileges (AC:L) but user interaction (UI:R). There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, update ImageMagick to version 6.9.13-49 or later, or 7.1.2-24 or later, where the issue has been patched.
