Fedora Core 2 : ImageMagick-6.2.0.7-2.fc2 (2005-234)

high Nessus Plugin ID 18316

Synopsis

The remote Fedora Core host is missing a security update.

Description

Andrei Nigmatulin discovered a heap based buffer overflow flaw in the ImageMagick image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted Photoshop Document (PSD) image in such a way that it would cause ImageMagick to execute arbitrary code when processing the image.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0005 to this issue.

A format string bug was found in the way ImageMagick handles filenames. An attacker could execute arbitrary code in a victims machine if they are able to trick the victim into opening a file with a specially crafted name. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0397 to this issue.

A bug was found in the way ImageMagick handles TIFF tags. It is possible that a TIFF image file with an invalid tag could cause ImageMagick to crash.

A bug was found in ImageMagick's TIFF decoder. It is possible that a specially crafted TIFF image file could cause ImageMagick to crash.

A bug was found in the way ImageMagick parses PSD files. It is possible that a specially crafted PSD file could cause ImageMagick to crash.

A heap overflow bug was found in ImageMagick's SGI parser. It is possible that an attacker could execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted SGI image file.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
