Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2014-1947   CVE-2014-1958   CVE-2014-2030  

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick handled PSD images that use RLE encoding. An attacker could create a malicious PSD image file that, when opened in ImageMagick, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running ImageMagick. A buffer overflow flaw affecting ImageMagick when creating PSD images was reported. The vulnerability is similar to CVE-2014-1947, except that CVE-2014-2030's format string is "L%06ld" instead of CVE-2014-1947's "L%02ld" due to <a href=" http://trac.imagemagick.org/changeset/1448">commit r1448</a>.
