1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-7800)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Integer underflow in the parse8BIM function in coders/meta.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.25 and earlier. A remote attacker can use a crafted 8BIM chunk to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
