high Nessus Plugin ID 27559

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-200710-27 (ImageMagick: Multiple vulnerabilities)

regenrecht reported multiple infinite loops in functions ReadDCMImage() and ReadXCFImage() (CVE-2007-4985), multiple integer overflows when handling certain types of images (CVE-2007-4986, CVE-2007-4988), and an off-by-one error in the ReadBlobString() function (CVE-2007-4987).
Impact :

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or an excessive CPU consumption. Note that applications relying on ImageMagick to process images can also trigger the vulnerability.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.5.10'
