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 Utah RLE reader in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or large memory allocations) via vectors involving the header information and the file size.
