ImageMagick before 7.1.2-19 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the FTXT encoder due to missing boundary checks when parsing ftxt:format. Remote attackers can trigger an out of bounds read by crafting malicious FTXT image files to cause denial of service or information disclosure.

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is 7.x prior to 7.1.2-19. It is, therefore, affected by a heap buffer overflow vulnerability:
