ImageMagick - Heap Buffer Overflow Read via Unrecognized Magnify Method
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-19 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the magnify operation that allows attackers to read out of bounds memory. An unrecognized magnify:method value triggers an out of bounds read, potentially exposing sensitive information or causing denial of service.
