Subject: CVE-2016-6823 - ImageMagick BMP Coder Out-Of-Bounds Write
 Vulnerability

Hi.

This is PwChen of Tencent's Xuanwu Lab & RayZhong of Tencent's Keen Lab.

During our research, we found an Out-Of-Bounds write vulnerability in
ImageMagick's BMP coders.

When ImageMagick is converting other format to BMP format, it will
pass image's height and width parameter into 'BMP coder'.

There is an arithmetic overflow vulnerability when the BMP coder is
calculating the image size by multiplying the height and width. This
can directly cause an Out-Of-Bounds Write.

The ImageMagick team has fixed the vulnerability we reported.

Attached is a proof of concept.

python -c 'print "P3\x0a14096\x201048576\x0a255\x00"' > PoC.ppm
convert PoC.ppm crash.bmp
