CVE-2018-6799  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.13 graphicsmagick to version 1.3.28-r0 or higher.

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.

The AcquireCacheNexus function in magick/pixel_cache.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap overwrite) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image file, because a pixel staging area is not used.
