Ubuntu 4.10 / 5.04 : imagemagick vulnerabilities (USN-132-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20523

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Damian Put discovered a buffer overflow in the PNM image decoder.
Processing a specially crafted PNM file with a small 'colors' value resulted in a crash of the application that used the ImageMagick library. (CAN-2005-1275)

Another Denial of Service vulnerability was found in the XWD decoder.
Specially crafted invalid color masks resulted in an infinite loop which caused the application using the ImageMagick library to stop working and use all available CPU resources.

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