Descriptions

In ImageMagick 7.0.7-4 Q16, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function ReadVIPSImage in coders/vips.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption in ResizeMagickMemory in MagickCore/memory.c) via a crafted file.

Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad de filtrado de memoria en ImageMagick 7.0.7-4 Q16 en la función ReadVIPSImage en coders/vips.c. Esta vulnerabilidad permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria en ResizeMagickMemory en MagickCore/memory.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.
