Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Null pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU14609
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16328
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the CheckEventLogging function of ImageMagick due to boundary error when processing malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing an image file that submits malicious input, trigger a NULL pointer dereference condition in the CheckEventLogging function, as defined in the MagickCore/log.c source code file and cause the service to crash.
MitigationUpdate to version 7.0.8-8.
Vulnerable software versionsImageMagick: 7.0.0-0 - 7.0.8-4
