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:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56 contains a division-by-zero flaw in the FLIF encoder. An incorrect value for ticks per second in the image being encoded causes a divide-by-zero and crashes the encoder, resulting in a denial of service. The issue is fixed in 7.1.2-31 and 6.9.13-56.
