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.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
