DSA-1168-1 imagemagick Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Imagemagick, a collection of image manipulation tools, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Eero Häkkinen discovered that the display tool allocates insufficient memory for globbing patterns, which might lead to a buffer overflow. Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team discovered that the Sun bitmap decoder performs insufficient input sanitising, which might lead to buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code. Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team discovered that the XCF image decoder performs insufficient input sanitising, which might lead to buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 6:6.0.6.2-2.7. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
