Technical Analysis
A heap-use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Layer method of PerlMagick in ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.x prior to 6.9.13-55. An attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted list of images, which triggers memory access after the memory has been freed, leading to a crash (denial of service). The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or integrity but affects availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability results in a denial of service due to a crash caused by heap-use-after-free memory access. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in ImageMagick versions 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 and later. Users should upgrade to these or newer versions to remediate the vulnerability. Patch status is confirmed by the version boundaries stated. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
