NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imagemagick package and not the imagemagick package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The AcquireResampleFilterThreadSet function in magick/resample-private.h in ImageMagick 7.0.7-4 mishandles failed memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL Pointer Dereference in DistortImage in MagickCore/distort.c, and application crash) via unspecified vectors.
