Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
ImageMagick fails to do proper bounds checking when handling image |
39 |
files with EXIF information. |
40 |
|
41 |
Impact |
42 |
====== |
43 |
|
44 |
An attacker could use an image file with specially-crafted EXIF |
45 |
information to cause arbitrary code execution with the permissions of |
46 |
the user running ImageMagick. |
47 |
|
48 |
Workaround |
49 |
========== |
50 |
|
51 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
52 |
|
53 |
Resolution |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: |
57 |
|
58 |
# emerge --sync |
59 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.1.3.2" |
