  "details" : [ "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 heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the `coders/dcm.c` module. When processing DICOM files with a specific configuration, the decoder loop incorrectly reads bytes per iteration. This causes the function to read past the end of the allocated buffer, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (crash) or Information Disclosure (leaking heap memory into the image). Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.", "A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a software suite for image manipulation. When processing specially crafted DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files, a vulnerability allows the software to read beyond its intended memory boundaries. This can lead to a Denial of Service, causing the application to crash, or to Information Disclosure, potentially revealing sensitive data from the system's memory." ],
  "statement" : "This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick's DCM decoder allows for a heap out-of-bounds read when processing specially crafted DICOM files. This could lead to a denial of service or information disclosure. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Community Projects are affected if ImageMagick is used to process untrusted DICOM images.",
