Application crashes via malicious XMP profiles

Summary

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability caused by missing null check when parsing XMP profiles. Attackers can craft malicious image files with specially crafted XMP data to trigger the vulnerability and cause application crashes. A flaw was found in ImageMagick. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause the application to crash. The issue stems from improper handling of XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) profiles within image files. By crafting a malicious image with specially designed XMP data, an attacker can trigger a heap use-after-free condition, leading to a denial of service.
