Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55, a missing recursion-depth check in the CALS decoder allows a crafted CALS image to exhaust the call stack and terminate the process. This issue is fixed in versions 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55.
