NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream graphicsmagick package and not the graphicsmagick package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The TIFFGetField function in coders/tiff.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.24 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read) via a file containing an "unterminated" string.
