CVE-2012-0259: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The GetEXIFProperty function in magick/property.c in ImageMagick before 6.7.6-3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a zero value in the component count of an EXIF XResolution tag in a JPEG file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

• Debian Debian Linux: version 6.0 only
