OESA-2021-1195 (CVE-2020-18032)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2021-05-24 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source websiteGraphviz is open source graph visualization software. Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. It has important applications in networking, bioinformatics, software engineering, database and web design, machine learning, and in visual interfaces for other technical domains.
Security Fix(es):
Buffer Overflow in Graphviz Graph Visualization Tools from commit ID f8b9e035 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) by loading a crafted file into the "lib/common/shapes.c" component.(CVE-2020-18032)
