Summary

ImageMagick versions before 6.9.13-58 and from 7.0.0-0 before 7.1.2-33 are affected. A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in the X11 animate operation occurs when the application processes crafted images. An attacker who supplies a malicious image can overwrite heap memory and crash the application when a user runs an X11 animate operation on it.

Description from the CNA

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in the X11 animate operation when processing crafted images. Attackers can supply a malicious image that, when a user runs an X11 animate operation on it, overwrites heap memory and can crash the application.
