Summary

Using Magick to read a malicious SVG file resulted in a DoS attack.

Details

bt obtained using gdb:
#4 0x0000555555794c9c in ResizeMagickMemory (memory=0x7fffee203800, size=391344) at MagickCore/memory.c:1443

This is related to the SVGStartElement and ResizeQuantumMemory functions.

PoC

  1. Generate an SVG file
  2. Read this file using Magick:
./magick /data/ylwang/Tools/LargeScan/targets/ImageMagick/test++/1.svg null
  1. Causes a DoS Attack
My server has a large amount of memory, causing a stack overflow to take a long time. I'll use the Windows release version as an example:
PS C:Program FilesImageMagick-7.1.2-Q8> .magick.exe -ping 1.svg null:
PS C:Program FilesImageMagick-7.1.2-Q8> echo $LASTEXITCODE
-1073741571
The error code -1073741571 indicates a crash due to a stack overflow.

Impact

This is a DoS vulnerability and all applications using Magick to parse SVG files are affected.
