Untrusted search path vulnerability in configure.c in ImageMagick before 6.6.5-5, when MAGICKCORE_INSTALLED_SUPPORT is defined, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse configuration file in the current working directory.

A flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exchangeable image file format (Exif) metadata. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-0247)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exif metadata. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, could cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop. (CVE-2012-0248)

It was found that ImageMagick utilities tried to load ImageMagick configuration files from the current working directory. If a user ran an ImageMagick utility in an attacker-controlled directory containing a specially crafted ImageMagick configuration file, it could cause the utility to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-4167)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed certain Exif tags with a large components count. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, could cause ImageMagick to access invalid memory and crash.
(CVE-2012-0259)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way ImageMagick decoded certain JPEG images. A remote attacker could provide a JPEG image with specially crafted sequences of RST0 up to RST7 restart markers (used to indicate the input stream to be corrupted), which once processed by ImageMagick, would cause it to consume excessive amounts of memory and CPU time. (CVE-2012-0260)

An out-of-bounds buffer read flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed certain TIFF image files. A remote attacker could provide a TIFF image with a specially crafted Exif IFD value (the set of tags for recording Exif-specific attribute information), which once opened by ImageMagick, would cause it to crash. (CVE-2012-1798)

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:0544 :

Updated ImageMagick packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Users of ImageMagick are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running instances of ImageMagick must be restarted for this update to take effect.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:0301 :

Updated ImageMagick packages that fix one security issue and multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

ImageMagick is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window System that can read and write multiple image formats.

It was found that ImageMagick utilities tried to load ImageMagick configuration files from the current working directory. If a user ran an ImageMagick utility in an attacker-controlled directory containing a specially crafted ImageMagick configuration file, it could cause the utility to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-4167)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously, the 'identify -verbose' command failed with an assertion if there was no image information available. An upstream patch has been applied, so that GetImageOption() is now called correctly. Now, the 'identify -verbose' command works correctly even if no image information is available. (BZ#502626)

* Previously, an incorrect use of the semaphore data type led to a deadlock. As a consequence, the ImageMagick utility could become unresponsive when converting JPEG files to PDF (Portable Document Format) files. A patch has been applied to address the deadlock issue, and JPEG files can now be properly converted to PDF files. (BZ#530592)

* Previously, running the 'convert' command with the '-color' option failed with a memory allocation error. The source code has been modified to fix problems with memory allocation. Now, using the 'convert' command with the '-color' option works correctly.
(BZ#616538)

* Previously, ImageMagick could become unresponsive when using the 'display' command on damaged GIF files. The source code has been revised to prevent the issue. ImageMagick now produces an error message in the described scenario. A file selector is now opened so the user can choose another image to display. (BZ#693989)

* Prior to this update, the 'convert' command did not handle rotated PDF files correctly. As a consequence, the output was rendered as a portrait with the content being cropped. With this update, the PDF render geometry is modified, and the output produced by the 'convert' command is properly rendered as a landscape. (BZ#694922)

All users of ImageMagick are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in imagemagick :

Untrusted search path vulnerability in configure.c in ImageMagick before 6.6.5-5, when MAGICKCORE_INSTALLED_SUPPORT is defined, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse configuration file in the current working directory (CVE-2010-4167).

A denial of service flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed images with malformed Exif metadata. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, could cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop (CVE-2012-0248).

The original fix for CVE-2012-0247 failed to check for the possibility of an integer overflow when computing the sum of number_bytes and offset. This resulted in a wrap around into a value smaller than length, making original CVE-2012-0247 introduced length check still to be possible to bypass, leading to memory corruption (CVE-2012-1185).

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed certain Exif tags with a large components count. An attacker could create a specially crafted image file that, when opened by a victim, could cause ImageMagick to access invalid memory and crash (CVE-2012-0259).

A denial of service flaw was found in the way ImageMagick decoded certain JPEG images. A remote attacker could provide a JPEG image with specially crafted sequences of RST0 up to RST7 restart markers (used to indicate the input stream to be corrupted), which once processed by ImageMagick, would cause it to consume excessive amounts of memory and CPU time (CVE-2012-0260).

An out-of-bounds buffer read flaw was found in the way ImageMagick processed certain TIFF image files. A remote attacker could provide a TIFF image with a specially crafted Exif IFD value (the set of tags for recording Exif-specific attribute information), which once opened by ImageMagick, would cause it to crash (CVE-2012-1798).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:0544 advisory.

  - ImageMagick: configuration files read from $CWD may allow arbitrary code execution (CVE-2010-4167)

  - ImageMagick: invalid validation of images denial of service (CVE-2012-0247, CVE-2012-0248)

  - ImageMagick: Out-of heap-based buffer read by processing crafted JPEG EXIF header tag value     (CVE-2012-0259)

  - ImageMagick: excessive CPU use DoS by processing JPEG images with crafted restart markers (CVE-2012-0260)

  - ImageMagick: Out-of-bounds buffer read by copying image bytes for TIFF images with crafted TIFF EXIF IFD     value (CVE-2012-1798)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
