Descriptions
The function InsertRow in coders/cut.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-37 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image file due to an out-of-bounds write.
La función InsertRow en coders/cut.c en ImageMagick 7.0.7-37 permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (DoS) mediante un archivo de imagen manipulado debido a una escritura fuera de límites.
Due to a large number of issues discovered in GhostScript that prevent it from being used by ImageMagick safely, this update includes a default policy change that disables support for the Postscript and PDF formats in ImageMagick. This policy can be overridden if necessary by using an alternate ImageMagick policy configuration. It was discovered that several memory leaks existed when handling certain images in ImageMagick. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
