AI-suggested

The issue is fixed in ImageMagick versions 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required if these versions are deployed.

Description

ImageMagick versions before 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56 contain a policy bypass vulnerability in the PCD coder and related coders (CUBE and HALD). This flaw allows a local user to bypass configured resource limits via a specific command line option, leading to extra memory allocation. The issue can cause a limited denial of service by exceeding memory policy limits. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56.
