CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Network

Exploit availability: No

Vulnerable software:
ImageMagick

Vendor: ImageMagick.org

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The GetEXIFProperty function in magick/property.c in ImageMagick before 6.7.6-3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a zero value in the component count of an EXIF XResolution tag in a JPEG file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
