ImageMagick ReadDCMImage and ReadXCFImage function denial of service
| imagemagick-readdcmimage-readxcfimage-dos (36740) |  Low Risk |
Description:
ImageMagick is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by errors in the ReadDCMImage and ReadXCFImage functions. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted image file, a remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause the application to enter an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service.
