Title
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 Memory Leak in JNG encoder
Summary
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the JNG encoder when a blob cannot be opened. Attackers can trigger the memory leak by providing malformed JNG files that fail blob operations, causing resource exhaustion.
