Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
A vulnerability in ImageMagick allows attackers to crash the |
19 |
application and potentially execute arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
ImageMagick is an application suite to manipulate and convert images. |
25 |
It is often used as a utility backend by web applications like forums, |
26 |
content management systems or picture galleries. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |
30 |
|
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
1 media-gfx/imagemagick < 6.2.5.5 >= 6.2.5.5 |
35 |
|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
The SetImageInfo function was found vulnerable to a format string |
40 |
mishandling. Daniel Kobras discovered that the handling of "%"-escaped |
41 |
sequences in filenames passed to the function is inadequate. This is a |
42 |
new vulnerability that is not addressed by GLSA 200503-11. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
By feeding specially crafted file names to ImageMagick, an attacker can |
48 |
crash the program and possibly execute arbitrary code with the |
49 |
privileges of the user running ImageMagick. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.5.5" |
