See how transfig compares to other vendors in security performance
PEDAMACHEPHEPTOLIONES and D.B. COOPER found a stack-based buffer overflow, present in Xfig, Transfig by loading malformed .FIG files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted .FIG text object file, which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to denial of service (Xfig, fig2dev crash).
