MDKSA-2006:155: ImageMagick

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
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-2006:155 (ImageMagick).

Multiple buffer overflows in ImageMagick before 6.2.9 permit user-assisted
attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted XCF images. (CVE-2006-3743)
Multiple integer overflows in ImageMagick before 6.2.9 permits user-assisted
attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted Sun bitmap images that trigger
heap-based buffer overflows. (CVE-2006-3744)
Integer overflow in the ReadSGIImage function in sgi.c in ImageMagick before
6.2.9 permits user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
and possibly execute arbitrary code via large (1) bytes_per_pixel, (2)
columns, and (3) rows values, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
(CVE-2006-4144)
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
