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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The ReadTIFFImage function in coders/tiff.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-23 Q16 does not properly validate the amount of image data in a file, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation failure in the AcquireMagickMemory function in MagickCore/memory.c).
