Summary

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-13 contains a memory leak vulnerability in LoadOpenCLDeviceBenchmark() function when parsing malformed OpenCL device profile XML files with unclosed device elements. Attackers with write access to the OpenCL cache directory can place malicious XML files to exhaust memory and cause denial of service.

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in ImageMagick. An attacker with write access to the OpenCL cache directory can exhaust system memory and crash the application by placing a maliciously crafted file.

Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation
  • To mitigate this, restrict write access to the OpenCL cache directory to prevent unauthorized or malformed files from being introduced. Additionally, configure process-level memory limits (using mechanisms like ulimit, cgroups, or systemd directives) for ImageMagick to contain potential memory exhaustion and safeguard overall system stability.
