ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick load_tile code execution
| imagemagick-loadtile-code-execution (41194) |  High Risk |
Description:
ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the load_tile function in the XCF coder. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted .xcf file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
