Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU8046
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-13758
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in TracePoint() in 'MagickCore/draw.c' when handling malicious content. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file, trick the victim into loading it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
Install update from vendor's website.
