CWE-125  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. 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.
