CVE-2016-8707
First published: Fri Dec 23 2016(Updated: )
An exploitable out of bounds write exists in the handling of compressed TIFF images in ImageMagicks's convert utility. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an out of bounds write which in particular circumstances could be leveraged into remote code execution. The vulnerability can be triggered through any user controlled TIFF that is handled by this functionality.
