NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream emacs-nox package and not the emacs-nox package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The XWD image (X Window System window dumping file) parsing component in ImageMagick 7.0.8-41 Q16 allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crash resulting from an out-of-bounds Read) in ReadXWDImage in coders/xwd.c by crafting a corrupted XWD image file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2019-11472.
