ImageMagick < 6.7.8-8 gif.c Memory Corruption

medium Nessus Plugin ID 70739

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is affected by a memory corruption vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host is running a version of ImageMagick prior to version 6.7.8-8. It is, therefore, affected by a memory corruption vulnerability in 'gif.c' while processing GIF comments because a null character is used to terminate comments. Exploitation of this issue could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. To fix this issue, raw memory handling is replaced with a 'ConcatenateString' function.

Solution

Upgrade to ImageMagick 6.7.8-8 or later.

Note that you may need to manually uninstall the vulnerable version from the system.
