Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple integer overflows have been discovered in ImageMagick allowing |
19 |
for the execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
ImageMagick is a collection of tools allowing various manipulations on |
25 |
image files. |
26 |
|
27 |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
iDefense Labs has discovered multiple integer overflows in ImageMagick |
39 |
in the functions ReadDCMImage() and ReadXWDImage(), that are used to |
40 |
process DCM and XWD files. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
An attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted XWD or DCM |
46 |
file, resulting in heap-based buffer overflows and possibly the |
47 |
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running |
48 |
ImageMagick. Note that this user may be httpd or any other account used |
49 |
by applications relying on the ImageMagick tools to automatically |
50 |
process images. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.3" |
64 |
|
