An issue was discovered in ImageMagick 6.9.7. Incorrect TGA files could trigger assertion failures, thus leading to DoS.

Please reference CVE/URL list for details

Several issues have been discovered in ImageMagick, a popular set of programs and libraries for image manipulation. These issues include denial of service and memory buffer over-read.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote Windows host is 6.x prior to 6.9.7-5 or 7.x prior to 7.0.4-5. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the WriteTGAImage() function in coders/tga.c due to improper handling of TGA files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to convert a specially crafted image to a TGA file, to cause a denial of service condition.

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed TGA, Sun or PSD files are processed.

This update also fixes visual artefacts when running -sharpen on CMYK images (no security impact, but piggybacked on top of the security update with approval of the Debian stable release managers since it's a regression in jessie compared to wheezy).
