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:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a memory leak in the ICON decoder that occurs when a memory allocation fails. Processing a crafted ICON file that triggers an allocation failure leaks memory, which may lead to a denial of service.
