CVE-2022-48541

A memory leak in ImageMagick 7.0.10-45 and 6.9.11-22 allows remote attackers to perform a denial of service via the identify -help command.

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.

Choose a language or tool that provides automatic memory management, or makes manual memory management less error-prone.
For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
When using Xcode to target OS X or iOS, enable automatic reference counting (ARC) [REF-391].
To help correctly and consistently manage memory when programming in C++, consider using a smart pointer class such as std::auto_ptr (defined by ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 14882:2003), std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr (specified by an upcoming revision of the C++ standard, informally referred to as C++ 1x), or equivalent solutions such as Boost.
