Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick version 7.0.8-41 Q16
Description The issue is related to a denial-of-service (divide-by-zero error) in the XWD image parsing component of ImageMagick. This can be triggered by crafting a specific XWD image file where the header does not indicate whether the data is stored in least significant bit (LSB) first or most significant bit (MSB) first order. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service.
Recommendations For ImageMagick version 7.0.8-41 Q16, consider avoiding the use of the ReadXWDImage function in coders/xwd.c until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of XWD image files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
