Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GraphicsMagick version 1.3.26
Description
The issue is related to a memory leak in the PersistCache function of the GraphicsMagick library. This occurs due to a resource not being released after its expiration. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service (memory leak) remotely.
Recommendations
For GraphicsMagick version 1.3.26, consider disabling the PersistCache function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the
magick/pixel cache.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the PersistCache function for writing Magick Persistent Cache (MPC) files until the issue is resolved.Fix
