NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imagemagick package and not the imagemagick package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

In ImageMagick 7.0.6-3, missing validation was found in coders/mat.c, leading to an assertion failure in the function DestroyImage in MagickCore/image.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service.
