ImageMagick Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in FTXT Encoder

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-19. This vulnerability arises in the FTXT encoder, where missing boundary checks allow remote attackers to craft malicious FTXT image files that trigger out-of-bounds reads. Such exploitation can lead to denial-of-service conditions or unauthorized information disclosure.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability causes a heap buffer overflow, leading to an out-of-bounds read. This can result in a denial-of-service condition or unauthorized information disclosure.
