NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream leptonica-devel package and not the leptonica-devel package as distributed by RHEL.

An exploitable command injection vulnerability exists in the gplotMakeOutput function of Leptonica 1.74.4. A specially crafted gplot rootname argument can cause a command injection resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious path as input to an application that passes attacker data to this function to trigger this vulnerability.
