How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 graphicsmagick to version 1.3.24-1 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The DrawDashPolygon function in magick/render.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 and the SVG renderer in ImageMagick allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by converting a circularly defined SVG file.
