RHEL 5 : ImageMagick (RHSA-2010:0652)

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0652 advisory.

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

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the ImageMagick routine responsible for creating X11 images. An attacker could create a specially-crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-1882)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* previously, portions of certain RGB images on the right side were not rendered and left black when converting or displaying them. With this update, RGB images display correctly. (BZ#625058)

Users of ImageMagick are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running instances of ImageMagick must be restarted for this update to take effect.

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-2010:0652.
