Debian DLA-1381-1 : imagemagick security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 110055

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in ImageMagick, an image manipulation program, that allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via CPU exhaustion (infinite loop) or heap-based buffer overreads with a crafted image file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u22.

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.
