CVE-2018-12600

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick versions 7.0.8-3 Q16

Description The issue is related to the ReadDIBImage and WriteDIBImage functions in the coders/dib.c file of the ImageMagick console graphic editor. It involves a buffer overflow, where writing beyond the memory buffer boundaries can occur. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted file, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For ImageMagick version 7.0.8-3 Q16, consider disabling the ReadDIBImage and WriteDIBImage functions in coders/dib.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to these functions to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using crafted files that could trigger the out of bounds write vulnerability. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
