Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through memory exhaustion. The issue occurs during wavelet-denoise image processing, where the application fails to release allocated memory if a required resource cannot be acquired. By repeatedly triggering this operation under resource-constrained conditions, an attacker can consume system memory and degrade service availability.
