Sources and claim methodology

Upstream source description

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-56 and 7.x before 7.1.2-31 lacks a security policy check in the CUT encoder, allowing configured security policies to be bypassed. Attackers can supply crafted input processed by the CUT encoder to crash the application or leak sensitive data.
