Upgrade Debian:9 imagemagick to version 8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-11+deb9u2 or higher.
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:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
The ReadTXTImage function in coders/txt.c in ImageMagick through 6.9.9-0 and 7.x through 7.0.6-1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted file, because the end-of-file condition is not considered.
