AI-suggested

A fix is available and users should update ImageMagick to versions 7.1.2-31 or later and 6.9.13-56 or later. Ubuntu users should apply the security updates provided in Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8859-1. The vendor advisory confirms that standard system updates will apply the necessary patches. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official fixes.

Description

ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56 contain a division-by-zero vulnerability in the FLIF encoder. This flaw occurs when an incorrect ticks per second value in the image being encoded causes a divide-by-zero error, crashing the encoder and resulting in a denial of service. The issue affects multiple Ubuntu LTS releases and has been fixed in the specified versions.
