Description Stefan Cornelius 2012-03-29 10:11:31 UTC 
An out-of-bounds buffer read flaw was found in the way ImageMagick, an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window System, retrieved source memory location by attempt to copy image bytes for certain TIFF image files. A remote attacker could provide a TIFF image with specially-crafted value of Exif IFD (set of tags for recording Exif-specific attribute information), which once opened in some ImageMagick tool would lead to the crash of that tool (denial of service).
