Fixed In Version: ImageMagick 7.0.9-0
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
In ParseMetaGeometry() of MagickCore/geometry.c, image height and width calculations can lead to divide-by-zero conditions which also lead to undefined behavior. This flaw can be triggered by a crafted input file processed by ImageMagick and could impact application availability. The patch uses multiplication in addition to the function `PerceptibleReciprocal()` in order to prevent such divide-by-zero conditions.

Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-11-03 19:12:23 UTC 
In ImageMagick, a division by zero can lead to outside the range of representable value at MagickCore/geometry.c and signed integer overflow at MagickCore/decorate.c.

Statement:

This flaw is out of support scope for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7. Inkscape is not affected because it no longer uses a bundled ImageMagick in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. For more information regarding support scopes, please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata .
