Summary
ImageMagick, a widely used image processing library, is affected when its security policy for PostScript, PDF, and XPS files can be bypassed. An attacker can craft input that makes it process more pages or scenes than the policy allows, which could exhaust system resources.

Read the original description
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 contains a policy bypass in the PS, PDF and XPS decoders that allows the security policy's list length limit on scene selection to be circumvented. Attackers supplying a specific argument can cause ImageMagick to process more scenes than permitted, potentially exhausting resources.
