Descriptions

DrawGetStrokeDashArray in wand/drawing-wand.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 mishandles certain NULL arrays, which allows attackers to perform Denial of Service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash in AcquireQuantumMemory within MagickCore/memory.c) by providing a crafted Image File as input.

DrawGetStrokeDashArray en wand/drawing-wand.c en ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 no gestiona correctamente algunos arrays NULL, lo que permite a atacantes provocar denegaciones de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL y cierre inesperado de la aplicación en AcquireQuantumMemory en MagickCore/memory.c) al proporcionar un archivo de imagen manipulado como entrada.

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.
