Description

In the ReadDCMImage function in coders/dcm.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.7-23, each redmap, greenmap, and bluemap variable can be overwritten by a new pointer. The previous pointer is lost, which leads to a memory leak. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Affected configurations

• imagemagick imagemagick (< 6.9.9-35) • imagemagick imagemagick (>= 7.0.0-0 < 7.0.7-23) • canonical ubuntu linux 14.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 16.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 17.10 • canonical ubuntu linux 18.04
