Discussion

ImageMagick Photoshop Document Parsing Remote Client-Side Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A client-side buffer overflow vulnerability affects the Photoshop document (PSD) parsing functionality of ImageMagick. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers.

An attacker may exploit this issue remotely by sending a malicious file through email or some other means to an unsuspecting user and enticing them to process it with the affected application.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user that activated the vulnerable application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.
