NVD Description

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

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contains a memory leak in coders/txt.c when processing TXT files with texture attributes: the texture object allocated via ReadImage is not released when GetTypeMetrics fails, leaking memory each time a crafted TXT file with a texture attribute is processed.
