The GetEXIFProperty function in magick/property.c in ImageMagick before 6.7.6-3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a zero value in the component count of an EXIF XResolution tag in a JPEG file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can make ImageMagick crash when it reads a specially malformed JPEG file. The business risk is service disruption in systems that accept or transform user-supplied images, such as upload pipelines, media services, CMS tooling, or email attachment processing. Exposure is most likely where ImageMagick processes untrusted JPEGs automatically. Internet-facing upload services and batch image conversion jobs are the main concern. The source bundle does not identify specific downstream product versions beyond ImageMagick before 6.7.6-3. Prioritize remediation for public image-upload and automated media-processing systems. This is mainly an availability issue, not a confirmed data-theft issue, but disruption can be material if ImageMagick sits in a critical content pipeline. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ImageMagick to 6.7.6-3 or a vendor-fixed package.; Review Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and openSUSE advisories for distribution-specific fixes.; Limit automatic processing of untrusted JPEG files where feasible..
