15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 An integer overflow in ImageMagick might allow remote attackers to
19 cause the remote execution of arbitrary code.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 ImageMagick is a collection of tools and libraries for manipulating
25 various image formats.
26
27 Affected packages
28 =================
29
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
32 -------------------------------------------------------------------
33 1 media-gfx/imagemagick < 6.5.2.9 >= 6.5.2.9
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 Tielei Wang has discovered that the XMakeImage() function in
39 magick/xwindow.c is prone to an integer overflow, possibly leading to a
40 buffer overflow.
41
42 Impact
43 ======
44
45 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
46 image, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code
47 with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
48 Service.
49
50 Workaround
51 ==========
52
53 There is no known workaround at this time.
54
55 Resolution
56 ==========
57
58 All ImageMagick users should upgrade to an unaffected version:
59
60 # emerge --sync
61 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.2.9"
62
63 NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
64 available since June 4, 2009. It is likely that your system is already
65 no longer affected by this issue.
