Technical details
The JPEG decoder in ImageMagick performs an uninitialized memory read when handling certain crafted JPEG inputs, triggered by improper bounds checking. An attacker can supply a malicious JPEG file to an application using the library to trigger the disclosure; no authentication or user interaction beyond opening the file is required. The vulnerability allows information disclosure with low confidentiality impact.
