high Nessus Plugin ID 58219

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201203-09 (ImageMagick: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

 Two vulnerabilities have been found in ImageMagick:
 Incorrect offset and count values in the ResolutionUnit tag in EXIF IFD could cause memory corruption (CVE-2012-0247).
 IOP tag offsets pointing to the beginning of an IFD could cause an infinite loop of ImageMagick parsing the IFD structure (CVE-2012-0248).
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.7.5.3'
