How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 ImageMagick-perl.

NVD Description

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

ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 and GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 use uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space, as demonstrated by remote attacks against ImageMagick code in a long-running server process that converts image data on behalf of multiple users. This is caused by a missing initialization step in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c.
