How to fix?

There is no fixed version for graphicsmagick.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The Magick_png_malloc function in coders/png.c in GraphicsMagick 6.7.8-6 does not use the proper variable type for the allocation size, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted PNG file that triggers incorrect memory allocation.
