CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/134.html

Format string vulnerability in the SetImageInfo function in image.c for ImageMagick 6.2.3 and other versions, and GraphicsMagick, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a numeric format string specifier such as %d in the file name, a variant of CVE-2005-0397, and as demonstrated using the convert program.

Weakness

The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
