NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream graphicsmagick package and not the graphicsmagick package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.13 relevant fixed versions and status.

There are lots of memory leaks in the GMCommand function in magick/command.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 that will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
