ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, when a PCD file does not contain a valid Sync marker, the DecodeImage() function becomes trapped in an infinite loop while searching for the Sync marker, causing the program to become unresponsive and continuously consume CPU resources, ultimately leading to system resource exhaustion and denial of service. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.

Title: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed
image files in certain instances. If a user or automated system using
ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an
attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute code. These issues only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, when a PCD file does not contain a valid Sync marker, the DecodeImage() function becomes trapped in an infinite loop while searching for the Sync marker, causing the program to become unresponsive and continuously consume CPU resources, ultimately leading to system resource exhaustion and denial of service. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted PCD (Picture CD) image file that lacks a valid Sync marker. This causes the DecodeImage() function to enter
