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 WriteImages function in magick/constitute.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.2-4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted image file.
