CVE-2020-27762: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in ImageMagick in coders/hdr.c. An attacker who submits a crafted file that is processed by ImageMagick could trigger undefined behavior in the form of values outside the range of type `unsigned char`. This would most likely lead to an impact to application availability, but could potentially cause other problems related to undefined behavior. This flaw affects ImageMagick versions prior to ImageMagick 7.0.8-68.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 9.0 only
• ImageMagick ImageMagick: before 6.9.10-68 (fixed in 6.9.10-68); from 7.0.0-0, before 7.0.8-68 (fixed in 7.0.8-68)
