Descriptions

The AcquireQuantumPixels function in MagickCore/quantum.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.3-1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted image file, which triggers a memory allocation failure.

La función AcquireQuantumPixels en MagickCore/quantum.c en ImageMagick en versiones anteriores a 7.0.3-1 permite a atacantes remotos tener un impacto no especificado a través de un archivo de imagen manipulado, lo que desencadena un fallo en la asignación de memoria.

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
