Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the coders/tiff.c function in GraphicsMagick 1.3.25 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a small samples per pixel value file. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the affected application.
Mitigation
Update to version 1.3.26.
Vulnerable software versions
GraphicsMagick: 1.3.8 - 1.3.25
