CVE-2019-11008

CWE-787Published: April 8, 2019· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

8.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

In GraphicsMagick 1.4 snapshot-20190322 Q8, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the function WriteXWDImage of coders/xwd.c, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image file.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2019-11008 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
