Scientific Linux Security Update : ImageMagick on SL5.x i386/x86_64

high Nessus Plugin ID 60843

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

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)

All running instances of ImageMagick must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
