NVD Description

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

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.
