NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imagemagick package and not the imagemagick package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The AcquireMagickMemory function in MagickCore/memory.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.3.3 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted image, which triggers a memory allocation failure.
