CVE-2004-0827

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library 5.x before 5.4.4, and 6.x before 6.0.6.2, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed (1) AVI, (2) BMP, or (3) DIB files.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of remote code execution on the victim's system, which could lead to application or full system compromise. Even without code execution, the attack can cause service unavailability.

Recommendation

Immediately update the ImageMagick library to version 5.4.4 or later (for the 5.x series) and to version 6.0.6.2 or later (for the 6.x series). Where possible, restrict processing of untrusted graphic files.
