GLSA-200409-12 : ImageMagick, imlib, imlib2: BMP decoding buffer overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 14677

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-200409-12 (ImageMagick, imlib, imlib2: BMP decoding buffer overflows)

Due to improper bounds checking, ImageMagick and imlib are vulnerable to a buffer overflow when decoding runlength-encoded bitmaps. This bug can be exploited using a specially crafted BMP image and could potentially allow remote code execution when this image is decoded by the user.
Impact :

A specially crafted runlength-encoded BMP could lead ImageMagick and imlib to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.
Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.0.7.1' # emerge '>=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.0.7.1' All imlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r2' # emerge '>=media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r2' All imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=media-libs/imlib2-1.1.2' # emerge '>=media-libs/imlib2-1.1.2'
