How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 imagemagick to version 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.16+esm2 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In ImageMagick before 6.9.7-10, there is a crash (rather than a "width or height exceeds limit" error report) if the image dimensions are too large, as demonstrated by use of the mpc coder.
