ImageMagick contains a flaw that may allow heap-based buffer overflows. The issue is triggered due to unspecified errors within the 'DecodeBitmap()' function and the 'ReadSUNImage()' function in sun.c when processing specially crafted Sun Rasterfile images. It is possible that the flaw may allow remote arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
