Description
The PALM image coder at coders/palm.c makes an improper call to AcquireQuantumMemory() in routine WritePALMImage() because it needs to be offset by 256. This can cause a out-of-bounds read later on in the routine. The patch adds 256 to bytes_per_row in the call to AcquireQuantumMemory(). This could cause impact to reliability. This flaw affects ImageMagick versions prior to 7.0.8-68.
Affected products
- Debian Linux: 9.0
- ImageMagick: before 6.9.10-68; from 7.0.0-0 before 7.0.8-68 — fixed in 6.9.10-68, 7.0.8-68
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: ImageMagick 6.9.10-68, 7.0.8-68. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
