2.6
LOW · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 11% (pctl 96)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Integer overflow in the ReadSGIImage function in sgi.c in ImageMagick before 6.2.9 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via large (1) bytes_per_pixel, (2) columns, and (3) rows values, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
