The vulnerability, described as a heap buffer over-read in the MAT decoder due to a 32-bit integer overflow from incorrect parenthesization, was traced to a specific commit in the ImageMagick repository. By comparing the tags for the patched version 7.1.2-16 and the preceding version, I identified the commit cb6cc0611baa4dac59add6439fa1d8af33fc5927 which explicitly references the GitHub security advisory GHSA-mrmj-x24c-wwcv. Analysis of this commit's patch shows changes in the coders/mat.c file within the ReadMATImage function. The changes correct the order of operations in calculating the ldblk variable. The vulnerable code performed a multiplication that could overflow a 32-bit integer before casting the result to a 64-bit ssize_t. The fix involves casting one of the operands to ssize_t before the multiplication, thus promoting the entire operation to 64-bit and preventing the integer overflow. This directly addresses the root cause described in the vulnerability report. Therefore, the ReadMATImage function is the vulnerable function.
