In ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16, the PersistPixelCache function in magick/cache.c mishandles the pixel cache nexus, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference in the function GetVirtualPixels in MagickCore/cache.c) via a crafted file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-14400 is a denial-of-service issue in ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16. A specially crafted file can crash image processing through a NULL pointer dereference. The business risk is service disruption where ImageMagick handles untrusted images, not confirmed data theft or code execution from the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in web applications, automation, or backend services that use ImageMagick to parse or transform user-supplied files. The supplied affected data is incomplete, but the title specifically names ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing upload or image-processing services. Internal-only batch systems are lower urgency unless they process third-party files. Because evidence points to denial of service rather than compromise, this should be handled through normal patch management with faster action for exposed services. Mitigation focus: Identify systems using ImageMagick, especially file-upload and image-conversion paths.; Check Ubuntu, Debian, and upstream ImageMagick guidance for fixed packages.; Apply applicable ImageMagick security updates from supported distribution channels..
