| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GraphicsMagick versions 1.3.26
Description
The issue is caused by a memory allocation failure in the
ReadPNMImage function, leading to a buffer overflow. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability is related to the MagickRealloc function in magick/memory.c.Recommendations
For GraphicsMagick version 1.3.26, consider disabling the
ReadPNMImage function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the coders/pnm.c module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
