    Roee Hay reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the push_subg()
    function in parser.y when processing a DOT file with a large number of
    Agraph_t elements.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
    specially crafted DOT file in an application using Graphviz, possibly
    leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
