Title
ImageMagick: Race Condition in distributed pixel cache server can result in file descriptor hijacking
Summary
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-23, an attacker who can connect to a magick -distribute-cache service can hijack a file descriptor in the server process when a race condition is met. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-23.
