In ImageMagick, there is an outside the range of representable values of type 'unsigned char' at coders/pdf.c. Reference: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/1753 Upstream patch: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/commit/872ffe6d0131beec8b47568a4874ffaca91a872e https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/commit/9dd1c7e1f8f6c137bfd3293be2554f59456c7b62

Flaw summary: In RestoreMSCWarning() of /coders/pdf.c there are several areas where calls to GetPixelIndex() could result in values outside the range of representable for the unsigned char type. The patch casts the return value of GetPixelIndex() to ssize_t type to avoid this bug. This undefined behavior could be triggered when ImageMagick processes a crafted pdf file. Red Hat Product Security marked this as Low severity because although it could potentially lead to an impact to application availability, no specific impact was demonstrated in this case.
