Debian DSA-702-1 : imagemagick - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 17673

Synopsis

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

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in ImageMagick, a commonly used image manipulation library. These problems can be exploited by a carefully crafted graphic image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

 - CAN-2005-0397 Tavis Ormandy discovered a format string vulnerability in the filename handling code which allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

 - CAN-2005-0759

 Andrei Nigmatulin discovered a denial of service condition which can be caused by an invalid tag in a TIFF image.

 - CAN-2005-0760

 Andrei Nigmatulin discovered that the TIFF decoder is vulnerable to accessing memory out of bounds which will result in a segmentation fault.

 - CAN-2005-0762

 Andrei Nigmatulin discovered a buffer overflow in the SGI parser which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted SGI image file.

Solution

Upgrade the imagemagick package.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 5.4.4.5-1woody6.
