Synopsis

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-07 (GraphicsMagick: PALM and DCM buffer overflows)

 M. Joonas Pihlaja has reported that a boundary error exists within the ReadDCMImage() function of coders/dcm.c, causing the improper handling of DCM images. Pihlaja also reported that there are several boundary errors in the ReadPALMImage() function of coders/palm.c, similarly causing the improper handling of PALM images.

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.7-r3'
