MDKSA-2005:065: ImageMagick |

Check for the version of the ImageMagick package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:065 (ImageMagick). A format string vulnerability was discovered in ImageMagick, in the way it handles filenames. A possible hacker could execute arbitrary code on a victim's machine provided they could trick them into opening a file with a special name (CVE-2005-0397). As well, Andrei Nigmatulin discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick's image handler. A possible hacker could create a special PhotoShop Document (PSD) image file in such a way that it would cause ImageMagick to execute arbitray code when processing the image (CVE-2005-0005). Other vulnerabilities were discovered in ImageMagick versions prior to 6.0: A bug in the way that ImageMagick handles TIFF tags was discovered. It was possible that a TIFF image with an invalid tag could cause ImageMagick to crash (CVE-2005-0759). A bug in ImageMagick's TIFF decoder was discovered where a specially- crafted TIFF image could cause ImageMagick to crash (CVE-2005-0760). A bug in ImageMagick's PSD parsing was discovered where a specially- crafted PSD file could cause ImageMagick to crash (CVE-2005-0761). Finally, a heap overflow bug was discovered in ImageMagick's SGI parser. If an attacker could trick a user into opening a specially- crafted SGI image file, ImageMagick would execute arbitrary code (CVE-2005-0762). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
