Summary

A format string vulnerability in the SetImageInfo function in image.c in ImageMagick before version 6.0.2.5 may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a filename argument to the convert utility, which may be called by other web applications.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the possibility of remote code execution by an attacker, which could lead to system compromise, as well as disruption of services dependent on ImageMagick.

Recommendation
