CVE-2017-14172: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 2.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In coders/ps.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-0 Q16, a DoS in ReadPSImage() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU consumption. When a crafted PSD file, which claims a large "extent" field in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is provided, the loop over "length" would consume huge CPU resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop.

Affected products

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux: version 14.04 only; version 16.04 only; version 17.10 only; version 18.04 only
• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
• ImageMagick ImageMagick: version 7.0.7-0 only
