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.

The WriteBlob function in MagickCore/blob.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.8-10 and 7.x before 7.6.0-0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted file.
