Summary
ImageMagick, a widely used image processing software suite, is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker can supply deeply nested XML data that causes memory to leak during parsing, which can exhaust available memory and crash the software, resulting in a denial of service.

Read the original description
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 contains a memory leak in its XML parsing code, where allocated memory is not released when parsing reaches the nesting depth limit. Attackers can supply crafted, deeply nested XML data to trigger the leak, causing memory exhaustion and denial of service.
