CVE-2017-9098
HighSummary
ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 and GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 use uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can gain access to confidential data in long-running server processes that convert image data on behalf of multiple users.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update ImageMagick to version 7.0.5-2 or newer and GraphicsMagick to version 1.3.24 or newer to mitigate this vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)
ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 and GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 use uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space, as demonstrated by remote attacks against ImageMagick code in a long-running server process that converts image data on behalf of multiple users. This is caused by a missing initialization step in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c.
