Debian DLA-1159-1 : graphicsmagick security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 104397

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Maor Shwartz, Jeremy Heng and Terry Chia discovered two security vulnerabilities in Graphicsmagick, a collection of image processing tool s.

CVE-2017-16352 Graphicsmagick was vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability found in the 'Display visual image directory' feature of the DescribeImage() function of the magick/describe.c file.
One possible way to trigger the vulnerability is to run the identify command on a specially crafted MIFF format file with the verbose flag.

CVE-2017-16353 Graphicsmagick was vulnerable to a memory information disclosure vulnerability found in the DescribeImage function of the magick/describe.c file, because of a heap-based buffer over-read. The portion of the code containing the vulnerability is responsible for printing the IPTC Profile information contained in the image. This vulnerability can be triggered with a specially crafted MIFF file.
There is an out-of-bounds buffer dereference because certain increments are never checked.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.16-1.1+deb7u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphicsmagick packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
