CVE-2017-9098

ImageMagick: use of uninitialized memory in RLE decoder

Published May 19, 2017 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 3.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 and GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 use uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space, as demonstrated by remote attacks against ImageMagick code in a long-running server process that converts image data on behalf of multiple users. This is caused by a missing initialization step in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c.
