Security Fix(es) :

  - It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly     sanitize certain input before using it to invoke     processes. A remote attacker could create a specially     crafted image that, when processed by an application     using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user using the     ImageMagick utilities, would lead to arbitrary execution     of shell commands with the privileges of the user     running the application. (CVE-2016-5118)

  - It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly     sanitize certain input before passing it to the gnuplot     delegate functionality. A remote attacker could create a     specially crafted image that, when processed by an     application using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user     using the ImageMagick utilities, would lead to arbitrary     execution of shell commands with the privileges of the     user running the application. (CVE-2016-5239)

  - Multiple flaws have been discovered in ImageMagick. A     remote attacker could, for example, create specially     crafted images that, when processed by an application     using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user using the     ImageMagick utilities, would result in a memory     corruption and, potentially, execution of arbitrary     code, a denial of service, or an application crash.

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in GraphicsMagick, a collection of image processing tool, which can cause denial of service attacks, remote file deletion, and remote command execution.

This security update removes the full support of PLT/Gnuplot decoder to prevent Gnuplot-shell based shell exploits for fixing the CVE-2016-3714 vulnerability.

The undocumented 'TMP' magick prefix no longer removes the argument file after it has been read for fixing the CVE-2016-3715 vulnerability. Since the 'TMP' feature was originally implemented, GraphicsMagick added a temporary file management subsystem which assures that temporary files are removed so this feature is not needed.

Remove support for reading input from a shell command, or writing output to a shell command, by prefixing the specified filename (containing the command) with a '|' for fixing the CVE-2016-5118 vulnerability.

  - CVE-2015-8808     Gustavo Grieco discovered an out of bound read in the     parsing of GIF files which may cause denial of service.

  - CVE-2016-2317     Gustavo Grieco discovered a stack-based buffer overflow     and two heap buffer overflows while processing SVG     images which may cause denial of service.

  - CVE-2016-2318     Gustavo Grieco discovered several segmentation faults     while processing SVG images which may cause denial of     service.

  - CVE-2016-5240     Gustavo Grieco discovered an endless loop problem caused     by negative stroke-dasharray arguments while parsing SVG     files which may cause denial of service.

  - CVE-2016-7800     Marco Grassi discovered an unsigned underflow leading to     heap overflow when parsing 8BIM chunk often attached to     JPG files which may cause denial of service.

  - CVE-2016-7996     Moshe Kaplan discovered that there is no check that the     provided colormap is not larger than 256 entries in the     WPG reader which may cause denial of service.

  - CVE-2016-7997     Moshe Kaplan discovered that an assertion is thrown for     some files in the WPG reader due to a logic error which     may cause denial of service.

  - CVE-2016-8682     Agostino Sarubbo of Gentoo discovered a stack buffer     read overflow while reading the SCT header which may     cause denial of service.

The fix for CVE-2016-5240 was improperly applied which resulted in GraphicsMagick crashing instead of entering an infinite loop with the given proof of concept.

Furthermore, the original announcement mistakently used the identifier 'DLA 574-1' instead of the correct one, 'DLA 547-1'.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.16-1.1+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphicsmagick packages.

    ImageMagick is an image display and manipulation tool for the X     Window System. ImageMagick can read and write JPEG, TIFF, PNM, GIF,     and Photo CD image formats. It can resize, rotate, sharpen, color     reduce, or add special effects to an image, and when finished you can     either save the completed work in the original format or a different     one. ImageMagick also includes command line programs for creating     animated or transparent .gifs, creating composite images, creating     thumbnail images, and more.
    ImageMagick is one of your choices if you need a program to manipulate     and display images. If you want to develop your own applications     which use ImageMagick code or APIs, you need to install     ImageMagick-devel as well.
