Descriptions
In ImageMagick 7.0.7-12 Q16, a large loop vulnerability was found in the function ExtractPostscript in coders/wpg.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU exhaustion) via a crafted wpg image file that triggers a ReadWPGImage call.
Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad de bucle grande en ImageMagick 7.0.7-12 Q16 en la función ExtractPostscript en coders/wpg.c. Esta vulnerabilidad permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (agotamiento de CPU) mediante un archivo de imagen wpg manipulado que desencadena una llamada ReadWPGImage.
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files.
