CVE-2016-4563

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The TraceStrokePolygon function in ImageMagick before version 6.9.4-0 and 7.x before version 7.0.1-2 mishandles the relationship between the BezierQuantum value and certain strokes data. This may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or potentially have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to attacks that lead to application crashes, resulting in service availability interruptions. Additionally, there is a risk of unspecified impacts that could affect system integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update ImageMagick to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Monitoring and analyzing input files is also advised to minimize the risk of attacks.
