Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2017-09-06 22:00:13 UTC
From ${URL}:

The ReadSUNImage function in coders/sun.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26 has a issue where memory allocation is excessive because it depends only on a length field in a header. This may lead to remote denial of service in the MagickMalloc function in magick/memory.c.

Hi, it is appreciate that you file the security bugs. I'd like if in the summary was reported the nature of the issue instead of the impact, so in this case memory allocation failure
