Description

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-1, when preparing to transform from Log to sRGB colorspaces, the logmap construction fails to handle cases where the reference-black or reference-white value is larger than 1024. This leads to corrupting memory beyond the end of the allocated logmap buffer. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.2-1.

{

Add a restrictive policy to /etc/ImageMagick-7/policy.xml (or ~/.config/ImageMagick/policy.xml for user installs):

<policymap>
  <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="{LOGLUV,LOGLUV24,LOGLUV32}" />
</policymap>

Restart any application servers (PHP-FPM, Passenger, etc.) using ImageMagick. Verify with:

identify -list policy | grep -i log

This blocks TIFF Log colorspace decoding entirely. Rollback: comment out the policy lines and restart. Test legitimate workflows first—some scientific imaging uses Log colorspace.
