Descriptions

coders/psd.c in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging an improper cast, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Coders/psd.c en ImageMagick permite a los atacantes remotos tener un impacto no especificado al aprovechar un cast impropio, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica.

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.
