Descriptions

In ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16, the PersistPixelCache function in magick/cache.c mishandles the pixel cache nexus, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the function GetVirtualPixels in MagickCore/cache.c) via a crafted file.

En ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16, la función PersistPixelCache en magick/cache.c no gestiona correctamente el nexo de caché de píxeles, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL en la función GetVirtualPixels en MagickCore/cache.c) mediante un archivo manipulado.

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.
