GLSA-200602-13 : GraphicsMagick: Format string vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20979

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200602-13 (GraphicsMagick: Format string vulnerability)

The SetImageInfo function was found vulnerable to a format string mishandling. Daniel Kobras discovered that the handling of '%'-escaped sequences in filenames passed to the function is inadequate in ImageMagick GLSA 200602-06 and the same vulnerability exists in GraphicsMagick.
Impact :

By feeding specially crafted file names to GraphicsMagick an attacker can crash the program and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running GraphicsMagick.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.7'
