Overview

Magick.NET-Q8-x64 is a Magick.NET allows you can use ImageMagick without having to install ImageMagick on your server or desktop.

More information about specific builds see the [official docs] (https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET/tree/main/docs)

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime through the WriteVIFFImage encoder in coders/viff.c. An attacker can consume memory by causing the VIFF encoder to hit an allocation failure while processing an image with a color map. When AcquireQuantumMemory fails for viff_colormap, the encoder throws MemoryAllocationFailed without releasing pixel_info, leaving allocated memory unreclaimed. This affects applications that decode or transcode attacker-supplied VIFF images and can be used to exhaust memory over repeated failed conversions.
