**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** gnuplot version 5.2.rc1 **Description** The issue is related to an uninitialized stack variable vulnerability in the load tic series() function in set.c. This vulnerability can be exploited when a victim opens a specially crafted file, potentially leading to Denial of Service (Segmentation fault and Memory Corruption) or other unspecified impacts. **Recommendations** For gnuplot version 5.2.rc1, consider avoiding the use of the load tic series() function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the opening of files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
