A flaw was found in gnuplot. The GetAnnotateString() function may lead to a segmentation fault and cause a system crash.

CVE-2025-31176 gnuplot vulnerability CVSS: 0 27 Mar 2025, 15:16 UTC

A flaw was found in gnuplot. The plot3d_points() function may lead to a segmentation fault and cause a system crash.

CVE-2021-44917 gnuplot vulnerability CVSS: 4.3 21 Dec 2021, 20:15 UTC

A Divide by Zero vulnerability exists in gnuplot 5.4 in the boundary3d function in graph3d.c, which could cause a Arithmetic exception and application crash.

CVE-2018-19492 gnuplot vulnerability CVSS: 6.8 23 Nov 2018, 17:29 UTC

An issue was discovered in cairo.trm in Gnuplot 5.2.5. This issue allows an attacker to conduct a buffer overflow with an arbitrary amount of data in the cairotrm_options function. This flaw is caused by a missing size check of an argument passed to the "set font" function. This issue occurs when the Gnuplot pngcairo terminal is used as a backend.

CVE-2018-19491 gnuplot vulnerability CVSS: 6.8 23 Nov 2018, 17:29 UTC

An issue was discovered in post.trm in Gnuplot 5.2.5. This issue allows an attacker to conduct a buffer overflow with an arbitrary amount of data in the PS_options function. This flaw is caused by a missing size check of an argument passed to the "set font" function. This issue occurs when the Gnuplot postscript terminal is used as a backend.

CVE-2018-19490 gnuplot vulnerability CVSS: 6.8 23 Nov 2018, 17:29 UTC

An issue was discovered in datafile.c in Gnuplot 5.2.5. This issue allows an attacker to conduct a heap-based buffer overflow with an arbitrary amount of data in df_generate_ascii_array_entry. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must pass an overlong string as the right bound of the range argument that is passed to the plot function.

CVE-2002-2259 gnuplot vulnerability CVSS: 7.2 31 Dec 2002, 05:00 UTC

Buffer overflow in the French documentation patch for Gnuplot 3.7 in SuSE Linux before 8.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code as root via unknown attack vectors.
