Integer overflow in the SyncImageProfiles function in profile.c in ImageMagick 6.7.5-8 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted IOP tag offsets in the IFD in an image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0248.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
