RHEL 4 : ImageMagick (RHSA-2005:413)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18385

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for ImageMagick.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2005:413 advisory.

 ImageMagick(TM) is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window System which can read and write multiple image formats.

 A heap based buffer overflow bug was found in the way ImageMagick parses PNM files. An attacker could execute arbitrary code on a victim's machine if they were able to trick the victim into opening a specially crafted PNM file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1275 to this issue.

 Users of ImageMagick should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch, and are not vulnerable to this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL ImageMagick package based on the guidance in RHSA-2005:413.
