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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A use-after-free in RenderFreetype in MagickCore/annotate.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-4 Q16 allows attackers to crash the application via a crafted font file, because the FT_Done_Glyph function (from FreeType 2) is called at an incorrect place in the ImageMagick code.
