Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Specifically, an incorrect loop in the ICON decoder component can cause an out of bounds heap write, which leads to a crash of the software.

The issue affects versions prior to 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25 and has been fixed in these versions.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can cause the ImageMagick software to crash due to an out of bounds heap write triggered by a malformed ICON image.

Since the CVSS score indicates a high impact on availability (A:H) but no impact on confidentiality or integrity, the main impact is denial of service, which could disrupt services or applications relying on ImageMagick for image processing.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should update ImageMagick to version 6.9.13-50 or later, or version 7.1.2-25 or later, where the issue has been patched.
