Descriptions
The ReadWPGImage function in coders/wpg.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-9 does not properly validate the colormap index in a WPG palette, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use of uninitialized data or invalid memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed WPG file.
La función ReadWPGImage en coders/wpg.c en ImageMagick 7.0.7-9 no valida correctamente el índice de mapa de colores en una paleta WPG, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (uso de datos no inicializados o asignación de memoria no válida) o, posiblemente, causen otros impactos no especificados mediante un archivo WPG mal formada.
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
