Summary

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-57 and 7.x before 7.1.2-32 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the PDF writer when writing CMYK images with JPEG2000 compression. A crafted CMYK image can cause freed memory to be reused, potentially crashing the process.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can crash the image-processing application, causing a denial of service. In environments handling untrusted images, the risk is real.

Recommendation

Update ImageMagick to version 6.9.13-57 or 7.1.2-32 (or later). Avoid processing untrusted CMYK images with JPEG2000 compression until patched.
