Debian DLA-756-1 : imagemagick security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 96051

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Numerous vulnerabilities were discovered in ImageMagick, an image manipulation program. Issues include memory exception, heap, buffer and stack overflows, out of bound reads and missing checks.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u10.

The exact impact of the vulnerabilities is unknown, as they were mostly discovered through fuzzing. We still recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
