Description

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a memory leak in the TIFF encoder when an invalid tiff:tile-geometry is specified. Supplying malformed tile geometry parameters causes allocated memory not to be released, which can lead to increased memory consumption.

Affected products

• 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 7.1.2-26. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
