Heap-based buffer overflow in the libMagick component of ImageMagick 6.0.6.2 might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via an image index array that triggers the overflow during filename glob expansion by the ExpandFilenames function.

Security readout for executives and security teams

ImageMagick 6.0.6.2 had a heap buffer overflow in libMagick. If a vulnerable system processed attacker-influenced image inputs that trigger filename expansion, arbitrary code execution might be possible. The bundle does not provide CVSS, confirmed exploit activity, or complete affected-package data. Exposure is most likely in legacy servers, appliances, containers, or applications still using ImageMagick 6.0.6.2 to process untrusted images or filenames. Prioritize if legacy ImageMagick handles user-supplied images in production. The product version is very old, but possible code execution makes unresolved exposure unacceptable on internet-facing or multi-tenant systems. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove ImageMagick 6.0.6.2 where present.; Upgrade ImageMagick through supported OS or vendor packages.; Review Debian, Red Hat, and SGI advisories for applicable fixed packages..
