Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered a |
44 |
Denial of Service vulnerability in the XWD decoder of ImageMagick and |
45 |
GraphicsMagick when setting a color mask to zero. |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted image to a user or |
51 |
an automated system making use of an affected utility, resulting in a |
52 |
Denial of Service by consumption of CPU time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.2.3" |
66 |
|
67 |
All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: |
68 |
|
69 |
# emerge --sync |
70 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.6-r1" |
