CVE-2013-4589

First published: Tue Oct 15 2013(Updated: )

GraphicsMagick, a comprehensive image processing package, is found to have a vulnerability which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "ExportAlphaQuantumType()" function found in magick/export.c when exporting 8-bit RGBA images, which can be exploited to cause a crash. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.3.18, Fedora 19 already ships with 1.3.18, so it doesn't seem to be affected.
