Summary
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains an information disclosure vulnerability: when a profile is displayed with the identify command and the profile value is not printable, a single byte at the end of the profile can be printed (read past the profile boundary). This behavior occurs when debug output is enabled.
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. This occurs due to an out-of-bounds read, where a single byte beyond the profile's boundary can be unintentionally printed.
This could potentially expose sensitive data. Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships ImageMagick in RHEL 6 ELS and RHEL 7 ELS.
This flaw has been rated as having a Low security impact and is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates of those products. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification:.

Mitigation checklist
- Do not enable debug output when processing untrusted image files with ImageMagick's identify command. Debug output is not enabled by default and is only used for diagnostic purposes. Upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-26 or 6.9.13-51 mitigates the issue.
