RHSA-2004-636: ImageMagick |
||
Check for the version of the ImageMagick packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Updated ImageMagick packages that fixes a buffer overflow are now available. ImageMagick(TM) is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window System. A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the ImageMagick image handler. A possible hacker could create a carefully crafted image file with an improper EXIF information in such a way that it would cause ImageMagick to execute arbitrary code when processing the image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0981 to this issue. David Eisenstein has reported that our previous fix for CVE-2004-0827, a heap overflow flaw, was incomplete. A possible hacker could create a carefully crafted BMP file in such a way that it could cause ImageMagick to execute arbitrary code when processing the image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0827 to this issue. Users of ImageMagick should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue.
