Descriptions

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.

La función ReadSUNImage en coders/sun.c en GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 presenta un error causado por una asignación de memoria excesiva, ya que depende solo de un campo longitud en una cabecera. Esto puede dar lugar a una denegación de servicio remota en la función MagickMalloc en magick/memory.c.

It was discovered that GraphicsMagick incorrectly handled certain image files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.
