Description
Summary
Using Magick to read a malicious SVG file resulted in a DoS attack.
Details
bt obtained using gdb:
```
4 0x0000555555794c9c in ResizeMagickMemory (memory=0x7fffee203800, size=391344) at MagickCore/memory.c:1443

9 0x00007ffff67a03f1 in xmlParseChunk () at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2
```
This is related to the SVGStartElement and ResizeQuantumMemory functions.
PoC
1. Generate an SVG file
2. Read this file using Magick:
```
./magick /data/ylwang/Tools/LargeScan/targets/ImageMagick/test++/1.svg null
```
3. Causes a DoS Attack
My server has a large amount of memory, causing a stack overflow to take a long time. I'll use the Windows release version as an example:
```
PS C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.1.2-Q8> .\magick.exe -ping 1.svg null:
PS C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.1.2-Q8> echo $LASTEXITCODE
-1073741571
```
The error code -1073741571 indicates a crash due to a stack overflow.
Impact
This is a DoS vulnerability and all applications using Magick to parse SVG files are affected.
