Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A memory leak in the PNG encoder allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). When library initialization fails during PNG encoding operations, allocated memory is not released. By repeatedly triggering these failed encoding requests, an attacker can exhaust system memory and make the application unavailable.
