RHEL 4 : ImageMagick (RHSA-2005:480)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18422

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-2005:480 advisory.

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

 A denial of service bug was found in the way ImageMagick parses XWD files.
 A user or program executing ImageMagick to process a malicious XWD file can cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop causing a denial of service condition. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1739 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-2005:480.
