ReadXBMImage in coders/xbm.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.8-9 leaves data uninitialized when processing an XBM file that has a negative pixel v
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 41/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB, GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 49.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.8% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: imagemagick (Debian:12) 8:6.9.10.14+dfsg-1; ImageMagick (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP3) 6.8.8.1-71.74.1; ImageMagick (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Desktop Applications 15) 7.0.7.34-3.24.1.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to imagemagick (Debian:12) 8:6.9.10.14+dfsg-1; ImageMagick (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP3) 6.8.8.1-71.74.1; ImageMagick (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Module for Desktop Applications 15) 7.0.7.34-3.24.1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
ReadXBMImage in coders/xbm.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.8-9 leaves data uninitialized when processing an XBM file that has a negative pixel value. If the affected code is used as a library loaded into a process that includes sensitive information, that information sometimes can be leaked via the image data.
