Descriptions
In coders/ps.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-0 Q16, a DoS in ReadPSImage() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU consumption. When a crafted PSD file, which claims a large "extent" field in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is provided, the loop over "length" would consume huge CPU resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop.
En coders/ps.c en ImageMagick 7.0.7-0 Q16, una denegación de servicio en ReadPSImage() por una falta de chequeos EOF (End of File) podría provocar un enorme consumo de recursos de la CPU. Cuando se proporciona un archivo PSD manipulado que pide un campo "extent" grande en la cabecera pero no contiene suficientes datos de respaldo, el bucle en "length" consumiría una gran cantidad de recursos de CPU, ya que el bucle no contiene ningún chequeo EOF.
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.
