Red Hat mitigation

Administrators can mitigate this issue by setting reasonable limits on size of processed image, consumed memory, time limit, etc. For example, disallowing the processing of large images (e.g. having either width or height larger than 10240 pixels) which consumes a lot of CPU time can be done by adding the following XML child elements under <policymap> element in /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml: ``` <policy domain="resource" name="width" value="10KP"/> <policy domain="resource" name="height" value="10KP"/> ```
