Description

The ReadSUNImage function in coders/sun.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 has an issue where memory allocation is excessive because it depends only on a length field in a header. This may lead to remote denial of service in the MagickMalloc function in magick/memory.c.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-graphicsmagick
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libgraphicsmagick-q16-12
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libgraphicsmagick-q16-3
