Debian DLA-731-2 : imagemagick regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 95457

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update for imagemagick issued as DLA-731-1 caused regressions when decoding properties of certain images. Updated packages are now available to address this problem. For reference, the original advisory text follows.

Several issues have been discovered in ImageMagick, a popular set of programs and libraries for image manipulation. These issues include several problems in memory handling that can result in a denial of service attack or in execution of arbitrary code by an attacker with control on the image input.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick 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.
