Doc Text:
A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a free and open-source software for editing and manipulating digital images. This vulnerability occurs because ImageMagick fails to check for circular references between two Magick Scripting Language (MSL) files. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing specially crafted MSL files, leading to a stack overflow and ultimately a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, making the software unavailable.
