CVE-2018-15607
LowSummary
In ImageMagick 7.0.8-11 Q16, a tiny crafted input file can result in a hang of several minutes during which CPU and memory resources are consumed until an attempted large memory allocation fails. Remote attackers can thereby cause a denial of service.
Risk Assessment
A small crafted file can heavily consume CPU and memory of an image-processing server for an extended period, leading to service unavailability. The risk affects systems accepting untrusted image files.
Recommendation
Update ImageMagick to a patched version. Enforce resource limits (time, memory) for image-processing processes.
