GraphicsMagick: PALM and DCM buffer overflows Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-07 (GraphicsMagick: PALM and DCM buffer overflows) M. Joonas Pihlaja has reported that a boundary error exists within the ReadDCMImage() function of coders/dcm.c, causing the improper handling of DCM images. Pihlaja also reported that there are several boundary errors in the ReadPALMImage() function of coders/palm.c, similarly causing the improper handling of PALM images. Impact A possible hacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted DCM or PALM image with GraphicsMagick, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running GraphicsMagick. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
