NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ImageMagick package and not the ImageMagick package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In ImageMagick 7.0.7-12 Q16, a large loop vulnerability was found in the function ExtractPostscript in coders/wpg.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU exhaustion) via a crafted wpg image file that triggers a ReadWPGImage call.
