ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.x before 6.9.13-51 contains a memory leak in the YUV decoder that occurs when opening of the blob fails. Repeated triggering can lead to resource exhaustion (denial of service).

A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A remote attacker could exploit a memory leak in the YUV decoder when processing a specially crafted image file. Repeatedly triggering this flaw can lead to resource exhaustion, resulting in a denial of service for the application.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships ImageMagick in RHEL 6 ELS and RHEL 7 ELS. This flaw has been rated as having a Low security impact and is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates of those products. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/. Do not process untrusted image files with ImageMagick. The YUV coder can be disabled in ImageMagick's policy.xml if not needed: `<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="YUV"/>`. Upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-26 or 6.9.13-51 mitigates the issue.
