In ImageMagick 7.0.7-1 Q16, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function ReadMATImage in coders/mat.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
The product does not release a resource after its effective lifetime has ended, i.e., after the resource is no longer needed.
