  "details" : [ "ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-15, a memory leak in the ASHLAR image writer allows an attacker to exhaust process memory by providing a crafted image that results in small objects that are allocated but never freed. Version 7.1.2-15 contains a patch.", "A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A remote attacker can exploit a memory leak in the ASHLAR image writer by providing a specially crafted image. This vulnerability causes small objects to be allocated but never freed, leading to the exhaustion of process memory and a Denial of Service (DoS)." ],
