Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2019-11-27 19:00:03 UTC
The following ImageMagick command:

  convert test.jpg +profile '!icc,*' out.jpg

used to remove all image metadata except ICC tags/profiles.
However, in recent versions it just dies after exhausting all system memory.

Comment 1 Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2019-11-27 19:03:03 UTC
Created ImageMagick tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-8 [bug 1777545]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 1777544]

Comment 2 Michael Cronenworth 2019-11-27 19:15:03 UTC
Please stop opening 5 year old security issues. This does not affect recent versions. Looks like this affected versions older than 6.8.9.9 and we're currently on 6.9.10.75.

I would like to hear what you are doing that is flooding my inbox instead of silence from you. Please respond.

Comment 3 Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2019-11-27 19:54:28 UTC
Thank you for letting me know that this not affect the current version of ImageMagick, I didn't find which versions were affected by this flaw, this is why this bug was opened.
Sorry for the mistake.

Comment 6 Marco Benatto 2019-12-30 17:33:59 UTC
Any version of ImageMagick as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7 and 8 is affected by this issue.
This was verified through internally available reproducer.
