CVE-2017-14103  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-416  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.13 graphicsmagick to version 1.3.26-r5 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 ReadJNGImage and ReadOneJNGImage functions in coders/png.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 do not properly manage image pointers after certain error conditions, which allows remote attackers to conduct use-after-free attacks via a crafted file, related to a ReadMNGImage out-of-order CloseBlob call. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-11403.
