ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 Memory Leak via -set profile Option

Impact

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 has a memory leak via the -set profile option, potentially causing a denial of service. An attacker must induce a user to process images with this option. The weakness is a missing release of memory after its effective lifetime.
