What is CVE-2018-10114?

A vulnerability in GEGL versions up to 0.3.32 permits remote attackers to trigger a denial of service by exploiting the gegl_buffer_iterate_read_simple function. This is achieved through the use of malformed PPM files that bypass memory allocation restrictions in the ppm_load_read_header function, resulting in a write access violation and potentially allowing further unspecified impacts.
