EUVDB-ID: #VU32205

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The VerticalFilter function in the DDS coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-3 and 7.x before 7.0.1-4 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted DDS file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
