Scientific Linux Security Update : ImageMagick on SL3.x, SL4.x, SL5.x i386/x86_64

medium Nessus Plugin ID 60382

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Several heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in ImageMagick. If a victim opened a specially crafted DCM or XWD file, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine.
(CVE-2007-1797)

Several denial of service flaws were found in ImageMagick's parsing of XCF and DCM files. Attempting to process a specially crafted input file in these formats could cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop. (CVE-2007-4985)

Several integer overflow flaws were found in ImageMagick. If a victim opened a specially crafted DCM, DIB, XBM, XCF or XWD file, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running ImageMagick. (CVE-2007-4986)

An integer overflow flaw was found in ImageMagick's DIB parsing code.
If a victim opened a specially crafted DIB file, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running ImageMagick. (CVE-2007-4988)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick parsed XCF files. If a specially crafted XCF image was opened, ImageMagick could be made to overwrite heap memory beyond the bounds of its allocated memory. This could, potentially, allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the machine running ImageMagick.
(CVE-2008-1096)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in ImageMagick's processing of certain malformed PCX images. If a victim opened a specially crafted PCX file, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. (CVE-2008-1097)

Solution

Update the affected packages.
