Summary
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-47 and 7.1.2-22, due to a missing check in the PSD decoder it would be possible to bypass the list-length resource policy when decoding a PSD image. Other security limits would still apply. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-47 and 7.1.2-22.
