Heap overflow in the WaveletDenoiseImage function in MagickCore/fx.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.6-4 and 7.x before 7.0.3-6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted image.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201702-09 (ImageMagick: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ImageMagick. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted       image file, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the       process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple sources report :

CVE-2016-9298: heap overflow in WaveletDenoiseImage(), fixed in ImageMagick7-7.0.3.6, discovered 2016-10-31

CVE-2016-8866: memory allocation failure in AcquireMagickMemory (incomplete previous fix for CVE-2016-8862), not fixed yet with the release of this announcement, re-discovered 2016-10-13.

CVE-2016-8862: memory allocation failure in AcquireMagickMemory, initially partially fixed in ImageMagick7-7.0.3.3, discovered 2016-09-14.

Bastien Roucaries reports :

Imagemagick before 3cbfb163cff9e5b8cdeace8312e9bfee810ed02b suffer from a heap overflow in WaveletDenoiseImage(). This problem is easily trigerrable from a Perl script.

The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote Windows host is 7.x prior to 7.0.3-6. It is, therefore, affected by a heap buffer overflow condition in the WaveletDenoiseImage() function within file MagicCore/fx.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
