CVE-2016-5687  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-125  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 imagemagick to version 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imagemagick package and not the imagemagick package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The VerticalFilter function in the DDS coder in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-3 and 7.x before 7.0.1-4 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted DDS file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
