CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade graphicsmagick to version 1.3.28 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The AcquireCacheNexus function in magick/pixel_cache.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap overwrite) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image file, because a pixel staging area is not used.
