A heap use after free issue was discovered in ImageMagicks ReplaceXmpValue() function in MagickCore/profile.c. An attacker could trick user to open a specially crafted file to convert, triggering an heap-use-after-free write error, allowing an application to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
