## Overview

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a memory leak in the TIFF encoder when an invalid tiff:tile-geometry is specified. Supplying malformed tile geometry parameters causes allocated memory not to be released, which can lead to increased memory consumption.

## Affected

- `ImageMagick >= 7.0.0 < 7.1.2-26`
- `ImageMagick < 6.9.13-51`

## Remediation
