Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A remote attacker could exploit a memory leak vulnerability within the TIFF encoder. By processing specially crafted TIFF images, an attacker can trigger memory allocation failures, leading to memory exhaustion. This can result in a denial of service (DoS), making the affected system or application unavailable.
Statement
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships ImageMagick in RHEL 6 ELS and RHEL 7 ELS. This flaw has been rated as having a Low security impact and is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates of those products. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/.
CVSS score applicability
The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
Mitigation
Do not process untrusted image files with ImageMagick. If processing of untrusted input is required, configure ImageMagick's policy.xml to set memory and map resource limits to contain the impact of potential memory leaks. Upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-26 or 6.9.13-51 mitigates the issue.
