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

Impact

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 has a memory leak via the -cdl option, where allocated memory is not cleaned up after use, potentially degrading availability through resource exhaustion. Attackers can supply input that causes the -cdl option to be processed, repeatedly leaking memory. The weakness is due to missing release of memory after effective lifetime.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.
