Descriptions

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.

La función AcquireResampleFilterThreadSet en magick/resample-private.h en ImageMagick 7.0.7-4 no gestiona correctamente el fallo en la asignación de memoria, lo que permite que los atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL en DistortImage en MagickCore/distort.c y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) mediante vectores sin especificar.

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
