Descriptions

In ImageMagick 7.0.4-9, an infinite loop can occur because of a floating-point rounding error in some of the color algorithms. This affects ModulateHSL, ModulateHCL, ModulateHCLp, ModulateHSB, ModulateHSI, ModulateHSV, ModulateHWB, ModulateLCHab, and ModulateLCHuv.

En ImageMagick 7.0.4-9, un bucle infinito puede ocurrir debido a un error de redondeo de punto flotante en algunos de los algoritmos de color. Esto afecta a ModulateHSL, ModulateHCL, ModulateHCLp, ModulateHSB, ModulateHSI, ModulateHSV, ModulateHWB, ModulateLCHab y ModulateLCHuv.

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.
