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.

In GraphicsMagick 1.3.31, the ReadDIBImage function of coders/dib.c has a vulnerability allowing a crash and denial of service via a dib file that is crafted to appear with direct pixel values and also colormapping (which is not available beyond 8-bits/sample), and therefore lacks indexes initialization.
