Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS : GraphicsMagick vulnerabilities (USN-5974-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 173434

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5974-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick was not properly performing bounds checks when processing TGA image files, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted TGA image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
 (CVE-2018-20184)

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick was not properly validating bits per pixel data when processing DIB image files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted DIB image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-20189)

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick was not properly processing bit-field mask values in BMP image files, which could result in the execution of an infinite loop. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted BMP image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-5685)

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick was not properly validating data used in arithmetic operations when processing MNG image files, which could result in a divide-by-zero error. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted MNG image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
 (CVE-2018-9018)

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick was not properly performing bounds checks when processing MIFF image files, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted MIFF image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-11006)

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick did not properly magnify certain MNG image files, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted MNG image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-12672)

 It was discovered that GraphicsMagick was not properly performing bounds checks when parsing certain MIFF image files, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted MIFF image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1270)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
