CVE-2017-11403: GraphicsMagick can be compromised by a malicious image file
CVE-2017-11403 · published 9 years ago
Summary
GraphicsMagick version 1.3.26 may mishandle certain image files, allowing a specially crafted picture to cause the program to stop working or let an attacker take control. The error happens because the program closes a file in the wrong order, leaving data that should be removed still active. Upgrade to the latest GraphicsMagick release or apply the vendor's patch to fix the issue.
