Debian DLA-953-1 : graphicsmagick security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 100473

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Chris Evans discovered that graphicsmagick used uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an remote attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space.

More information are available at:

-file-14k-bounty.html

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.16-1.1+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphicsmagick packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
