CVE-2017-14173: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the function ReadTXTImage() in coders/txt.c in ImageMagick 7.0.6-10, an integer overflow might occur for the addition operation "GetQuantumRange(depth)+1" when "depth" is large, producing a smaller value than expected. As a result, an infinite loop would occur for a crafted TXT file that claims a very large "max_value" value.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 14.04 only; version 16.04 only; version 17.10 only; version 18.04 only
• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
• ImageMagick ImageMagick: version 7.0.6-10 only
