Imager Image-based Fill Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Imager is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate bounds checking on user-supplied input while processing malicious image files.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications that use the Imager library. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash applications.
