Descriptions
The DrawDashPolygon function in magick/render.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 and the SVG renderer in ImageMagick allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by converting a circularly defined SVG file.
La funciĆ³n DrawDashPolygon en magick/render.c en GraphicsMagick en versiones anteriores a 1.3.24 y el SVG renderer en ImageMagick permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegaciĆ³n de servicio (bucle infinito) convirtiendo un archivo SVG definido circularmente.
ImageMagick is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window System that can read and write multiple image formats. Security Fix: It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly sanitize certain input before using it to invoke processes. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted image that, when processed by an application using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user using the ImageMagick utilities, would lead to arbitrary execution of shell commands with the privileges of the user running the application.
