Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick versions prior to 6.9.2-4

Description The issue is related to a function called WriteImages in the ImageMagick console graphic editor, which is associated with pointer dereference errors. Exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by using a specially crafted image file, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.9.2-4, update to version 6.9.2-4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the WriteImages function until a patch is available.
