Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, the viff encoder contains an integer truncation/wraparound issue on 32-bit builds that could trigger an out of bounds heap write, potentially causing a crash. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-190

An arithmetic operation produces a value too large for its type and wraps around to an unexpected — often tiny or negative — number. That miscalculated value then drives a memory allocation or a bounds check, opening the door to corruption. The fix is checked arithmetic and validating sizes before they're used.

Recommended fix High confidence

6.9.13-44 (6.x branch) or 7.1.2-19 (7.x branch)

  1. 1. Determine your current ImageMagick version by running 'identify -version' or 'magick -version'
  2. 2. If using ImageMagick 6.x branch, upgrade to version 6.9.13-44 or later
  3. 3. If using ImageMagick 7.x branch, upgrade to version 7.1.2-19 or later
  4. 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by running 'identify -version' and confirming the installed version meets or exceeds the fixed versions
  5. 5. Test critical image processing workflows that involve VIFF format files to ensure functionality is maintained
