In ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function PersistPixelCache in magick/cache.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption in ReadMPCImage in coders/mpc.c) via a crafted file.
The product does not release a resource after its effective lifetime has ended, i.e., after the resource is no longer needed.
