Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, in `ReadSFWImage()` (`coders/sfw.c`), when temporary file creation fails, `read_info` is destroyed before its `filename` member is accessed, causing a NULL pointer dereference and crash. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
Affected products
- ImageMagick: before 6.9.13-40; from 7.0.0-0 before 7.1.2-15 — fixed in 6.9.13-40, 7.1.2-15
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: ImageMagick 6.9.13-40, 7.1.2-15. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
