Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a crafted MSL script triggers a heap-use-after-free. The operation element handler replaces and frees the image while the parser continues reading from it, leading to a UAF in ReadBlobString during further parsing. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
Analysis
ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 are vulnerable to a heap-use-after-free condition when processing specially crafted MSL scripts, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to cause denial of service. The vulnerability occurs when the operation element handler frees image data while the parser continues accessing it, leading to memory corruption during subsequent parsing operations. …
