ImageMagick "XMakeImage()" Integer Overflow Vulnerability

Moderately critical -

ImageMagick 6.x

"Tielei Wang has discovered a vulnerability in ImageMagick, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error within the "XMakeImage()" function in magick/xwindow.c. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via e.g. a specially crafted TIFF file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code."
