First published: Fri Feb 06 2009(Updated: )
Heap-based buffer overflow in the DecodeImage function in coders/pict.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.1.14, and 1.2.x before 1.2.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
