CVE-2017-11640

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick version 7.0.6-1

Description The issue arises when ImageMagick processes a crafted file, leading to an address access exception in the WritePTIFImage() function. This is caused by a buffer overflow during file conversion, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause an exception.

Recommendations For ImageMagick version 7.0.6-1, consider disabling the WritePTIFImage() function in coders/tiff.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the convert function to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
