Synopsis
An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.Description
The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote Windows host is 6.x prior to 6.9.7-8 or 7.x prior to 7.0.4-8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the ReadPSDChannel() function in coders/psd.c due to improper handling of PSD files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PSD file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-6497)
- A flaw exists in Magick++/lib/Exception.cpp due to improper handling of nested exceptions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause the application to consume excessive resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-6499)
- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the ReadXCFImage() function in coders/xcf.c due to improper handling of XCF files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open a specially crafted XCF file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-6501)
Solution
Upgrade to ImageMagick version 6.9.7-8 / 7.0.4-8 or later. Note that you may also need to manually uninstall the vulnerable version from the system.See Also
