AI-suggested

The affected versions are prior to 6.9.13-58 and 7.x prior to 7.1.2-33. Users should upgrade ImageMagick to version 6.9.13-58 or later, or 7.1.2-33 or later to address this vulnerability. Since no vendor advisory or patch links are provided, verify with the official ImageMagick project or distribution maintainers for the availability of fixes and apply them accordingly.

Description

ImageMagick versions before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 contain a policy bypass vulnerability in the PS, PDF, and XPS decoders. This flaw allows attackers to circumvent the security policy's list length limit on scene selection by supplying a specific argument, causing ImageMagick to process more scenes than permitted. The vulnerability can potentially lead to resource exhaustion. The CVSS score is 3.3, indicating a low severity impact primarily affecting availability.
