Descriptions

In ImageMagick 7.0.7-16 Q16, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function GetImagePixelCache in magick/cache.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted MNG image file that is processed by ReadOneMNGImage.

Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad de filtrado de memoria en ImageMagick 7.0.7-16 Q16 en la función GetImagePixelCache en magick/cache.c. Esta vulnerabilidad permite que los atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio mediante un archivo de imagen MNG manipulado que es procesado por ReadOneMNGImage.

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.
