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-200501-37 (GraphicsMagick: PSD decoding heap overflow)

 Andrei Nigmatulin discovered that handling a Photoshop Document (PSD) file with more than 24 layers in ImageMagick could trigger a heap overflow (GLSA 200501-26). GraphicsMagick is based on the same code and therefore suffers from the same flaw.
 Impact :

 An attacker could potentially design a malicious PSD image file to cause arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user running GraphicsMagick.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.5'
