Title
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-57 and 7.x before 7.1.2-32 Memory Leak in YUV Encoder
Summary
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-57 and 7.x before 7.1.2-32 contains a memory leak in the YUV encoder, which fails to release allocated memory when a specific operation fails. Attackers can supply crafted input that triggers the failing encoder operation, leaking memory and potentially exhausting resources to cause a denial of service.
