NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream graphviz package and not the graphviz package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the "yyerror" function in Graphviz 2.34.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file. NOTE: This vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-0978.
