ImageMagick has MSL attribute stack buffer overflow that leads to out of bounds write.
Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a stack buffer overflow occurs when processing the an attribute in msl.c. A long value overflows a fixed-size stack buffer, leading to memory corruption. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
A stack buffer overflow in ImageMagick's MSL parser allows remote code execution via crafted images; fixed in versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40.
ImageMagick is a widely used image processing suite [1]. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a stack buffer overflow exists in the MSL attribute processing in msl.c. A long value written into a fixed-size stack buffer causes memory corruption [2][4].
The vulnerability can be triggered by processing a crafted image file containing a malicious MSL attribute. No authentication is required if an attacker can supply an image to an application using ImageMagick, making the attack surface broad [2].
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to corrupt memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service [4]. The issue has been patched in versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40; users are advised to update immediately.
