This update fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service, memory disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are processed.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ImageMagick before 6.9.9-24 and 7.x before 7.0.7-12 has a use-after-free in Magick::Image::read in     Magick++/lib/Image.cpp. (CVE-2017-17499)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3681-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or     automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could     exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user     invoking the program.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the ImageMagick packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - ImageMagick is an image display and manipulation tool     for the X Window System. ImageMagick can read and write     JPEG, TIFF, PNM, GIF,and Photo CD image formats. It can     resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special     effects to an image, and when finished you can either     save the completed work in the original format or a     different one. ImageMagick also includes command line     programs for creating animated or transparent .gifs,     creating composite images, creating thumbnail images,     and more.ImageMagick is one of your choices if you need     a program to manipulate and display images. If you want     to develop your own applications which use ImageMagick     code or APIs, you need to install ImageMagick-devel as     well.Security Fix(es):In ImageMagick before 7.0.8-8, a     NULL pointer dereference exists in the     GetMagickProperty function in     MagickCore/property.c.(CVE-2018-16329)ImageMagick     before 6.9.9-24 and 7.x before 7.0.7-12 has a     use-after-free in Magick::Image::read in     Magick++/lib/Image.cpp.(CVE-2017-17499)In ImageMagick     before 6.9.8-5 and 7.x before 7.0.5-6, there is a     memory leak in the ReadMATImage function in     coders/mat.c.(CVE-2017-13146)In ImageMagick before     6.9.7-6 and 7.x before 7.0.4-6, the ReadMATImage     function in coders/mat.c uses uninitialized data, which     might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive     information from process memory.(CVE-2017-13143)In     ImageMagick before 6.9.9-0 and 7.x before 7.0.6-1, the     ReadOneMNGImage function in coders/png.c has an     out-of-bounds read with the MNG CLIP     chunk.(CVE-2017-13139)coders/psd.c in ImageMagick     allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via     a crafted PSD file, which triggers an out-of-bounds     write.(CVE-2017-5510)coders/psd.c in ImageMagick allows     remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a     crafted PSD file, which triggers an out-of-bounds     write.(CVE-2017-5509)Memory leak in coders/mpc.c in     ImageMagick before 6.9.7-4 and 7.x before 7.0.4-4     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption) via vectors involving a pixel     cache.(CVE-2017-5507)Memory leak in the IsOptionMember     function in MagickCore/option.c in ImageMagick before     6.9.2-2, as used in ODR-PadEnc and other products,     allows attackers to trigger memory     consumption.(CVE-2016-10252)Off-by-one error in     coders/wpg.c in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to     have unspecified impact via vectors related to a string     copy.(CVE-2016-10145)Memory leak in     AcquireVirtualMemory in ImageMagick before 7 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) via unspecified vectors.(CVE-2016-7539)In     coders/bmp.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.8-16, an input     file can result in an infinite loop and hang, with high     CPU and memory consumption. Remote attackers could     leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of     service via a crafted file.(CVE-2018-20467)In     ImageMagick before 7.0.8-8, a NULL pointer dereference     exists in the CheckEventLogging function in     MagickCore/log.c.(CVE-2018-16328)ReadXBMImage in     coders/xbm.c in ImageMagick before 7.0.8-9 leaves data     uninitialized when processing an XBM file that has a     negative pixel value. If the affected code is used as a     library loaded into a process that includes sensitive     information, that information sometimes can be leaked     via the image data.(CVE-2018-16323)WriteEPTImage in     coders/ept.c in ImageMagick 7.0.7-25 Q16 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service     (MagickCore/memory.c double free and application crash)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     file.(CVE-2018-8804)In ImageMagick 7.0.8-3 Q16,     ReadDIBImage and WriteDIBImage in coders/dib.c allow     attackers to cause an out of bounds write via a crafted     file.(CVE-2018-12600)ImageMagick version 7.0.7-2     contains a memory leak in ReadYUVImage in     coders/yuv.c.(CVE-2017-15033)
