CVE-2022-1115

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—

A heap-buffer-overflow flaw was found in ImageMagick’s PushShortPixel() function of quantum-private.h file. This vulnerability is triggered when an attacker passes a specially crafted TIFF image file to ImageMagick for conversion, potentially leading to a denial of service.
