VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21615/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
DoS, System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
ImageMagick 6.x
http://secunia.com/product/3763/
ImageMagick 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/1791/
DESCRIPTION:
Tavis Ormandy has reported some vulnerabilities in ImageMagick, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.
1) Boundary errors within the "DecodeBitmap()" function and the
"ReadSUNImage()" function in sun.c can be exploited to cause
heap-based buffer overflows when processing specially crafted Sun
Rasterfile images.
2) Boundary errors within the XCF image decoder can be exploited to
cause a stack-based and a heap-based overflow when processing
specially crafted XCF image files.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 6.2.9-1.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team.
