Descriptions

The ReadWPGImage function in coders/wpg.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 does not properly validate colormapped images, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (ImportIndexQuantumType invalid write and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed WPG image.

La función ReadWPGImage en coders/wpg.c en GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 no valida correctamente las imágenes cuyos colores corresponden a un mapa de color, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (escritura no válida de ImportIndexQuantumType y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, posiblemente, causen otros impactos no especificados mediante una imagen WPG mal formada.

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.
