  "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, ImageMagick lacks proper boundary checking when processing Huffman-coded data from PCD (Photo CD) files. The decoder contains an function that has an incorrect initialization that could cause an out of bounds read. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.", "A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. When processing Huffman-coded data from Photo CD (PCD) files, the image decoder contains an incorrect initialization that could lead to an out-of-bounds read. This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to cause information disclosure or a denial of service." ],
  "statement" : "This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick involves a heap overflow in the PCD (Photo CD) decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read when processing Huffman-coded data. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted PCD file. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS are affected.",

  "mitigation" : {
    "value" : "To mitigate this issue, restrict ImageMagick's ability to process PCD (Photo CD) files by disabling the PCD coder. This can be done by adding or modifying a policy entry in the ImageMagick configuration file, typically located at `/etc/ImageMagick-X/policy.xml` (where 'X' is the ImageMagick version). Add the following line within the `<policymap>` tags:\n```xml\n<policy domain=\"coder\" rights=\"none\" pattern=\"PCD\" />\n```\nApplications utilizing ImageMagick may require a restart for this change to take effect. This action will prevent ImageMagick from processing PCD files, which may affect functionality dependent on this format.",
