NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ImageMagick-doc package and not the ImageMagick-doc package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 fails to properly lower the memory budget when an operation inside OpenPixelCache fails. Repeated triggering of such failures can exhaust the process memory budget and result in a denial of service.
