Summary
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-55 and 7.x before 7.1.2-30 contains a use-after-free flaw (CWE-416) in its RSVG decoder when built without cairo support. The flaw occurs when a decoding limit is reached, so the decoder accesses memory that has already been freed. An attacker who can supply a crafted SVG file can trigger a crash.
