Fixed by: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/commit/aea6c6507f55632829e6432f8177a084a57c9fcc
The initial patch was initiall meant to be incomplete and resulted in
CVE-2016-8866. So when fixing
this CVE make sure to fix it completely to not open up CVE-2016-8866.
The "incomplete fix" though is not a real problem, cf.
