Debian DSA-547-1 : imagemagick - buffer overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 15384

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Marcus Meissner from SUSE has discovered several buffer overflows in the ImageMagick graphics library. An attacker could create a malicious image or video file in AVI, BMP, or DIB format that could crash the reading process. It might be possible that carefully crafted images could also allow to execute arbitrary code with the capabilities of the invoking process.

Solution

Upgrade the imagemagick packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.4.4.5-1woody3.
