Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software for editing and manipulating digital images. When ImageMagick processes an XML file with deeply nested structures, the DestroyXMLTree() function, which frees memory, is executed recursively without a depth limit. This can lead to the exhaustion of stack memory, allowing a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing a specially crafted XML file.
