Summary
A memory leak vulnerability in ImageMagick before version 7.1.2-15 exists in multiple coders that write raw pixel data, where allocated objects are not properly freed. Attackers can trigger this leak by processing specially crafted images, leading to memory exhaustion and denial of service.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves a potential DoS (denial of service) attack by sending a malicious image, which can exhaust system memory and disrupt applications using ImageMagick.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately upgrade ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-15 or later, which includes a fix for the memory leak.
