Descriptions

A NULL pointer dereference in the function ReadPANGOImage in coders/pango.c and the function ReadVIDImage in coders/vid.c in ImageMagick 7.0.8-34 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image.

Una desreferencia de puntero NULL en la función ReadPANGOImage en coders/pango.c y la función ReadVIDImage en coders/vid.c en ImageMagick versión 7.0.8-34 permite a los atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio a través de una imagen diseñada.

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.
