ImageMagick PerlMagick Property Reading Memory Leak

Sources read

Source agreement

0/2

Evidence confidence

%37

Short explanation

ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-33 contain a memory leak vulnerability in the PerlMagick component due to failing to free values returned when reading image properties, leading to denial of service.

Why does it matter?

Attackers can exhaust memory by repeatedly triggering property reads, which threatens system stability and availability.

What should be done?
