Description

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 is missing a check for the allowed memory allocation limit in matrix-backed operations such as -canny.

• ImageMagick: from 7.0.0 before 7.1.2-26 — fixed in 7.1.2-26

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: ImageMagick 6.9.13-51, 7.1.2-26; ImageMagick 7.1.2-26. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
