GHSA-q3hc-j9x5-mp9m: ImageMagick has a use-after-free/double-free risk in Options::fontFamily when clearing family

We believe that we have discovered a potential security vulnerability in ImageMagick’s Magick++ layer that manifests when `Options::fontFamily` is invoked with an empty string. **Vulnerability Details** - Clearing a font family calls `RelinquishMagickMemory` on `_drawInfo->font`, freeing the font string but leaving `_drawInfo->font` pointing to freed memory while `_drawInfo->family` is set to that (now-invalid) pointer. Any later cleanup or reuse of `_drawInfo->font` re-frees or dereferences dangling memory. - `DestroyDrawInfo` and other setters (`Options::font`, `Image::font`) assume `_drawInfo->font` remains valid, so destruction or subsequent updates trigger crashes or heap corruption. ```cpp if (family_.length() == 0) { _drawInfo->family=(char *) RelinquishMagickMemory(_drawInfo->font); DestroyString(RemoveImageOption(imageInfo(),"family")); } ``` - **CWE-416 (Use After Free):** `_drawInfo->font` is left dangling yet still reachable through the Options object. - **CW...
