## Overview

Scribus before 1.6.7 and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the importdrw Micrografx Draw plugin that uses an unvalidated y offset to select image scanlines. Attackers can craft a DRW file that, when imported by a user, writes decoded bitmap data outside the heap image buffer, causing crashes or code execution.

## Affected

- `Scribus < 1.6.7`
- `Scribus >= 1.7.0 < 1.7.4`

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
