Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13295)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read error in "AdaptiveThresholdImage" in the "MagickCore/threshold.c" file because a width of zero is mishandled. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
