Numerous vulnerabilities were discovered in ImageMagick, an image manipulation program. Issues include memory exception, heap, buffer and stack overflows, out of bound reads and missing checks.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u10.

The exact impact of the vulnerabilities is unknown, as they were mostly discovered through fuzzing. We still recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

This update for ImageMagick fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-9556 Possible Heap-overflow found by fuzzing     [bsc#1011130]

  - CVE-2016-9559 Possible NULL pointer access found by     fuzzing [bsc#1011136]

  - CVE-2016-8707 Possible code execution in Tiff conver     utility [bsc#1014159]

  - CVE-2016-8866 Memory allocation failure in     AcquireMagickMemory could lead to Heap overflow     [bsc#1009318]

  - CVE-2016-9559 Possible NULL pointer access found by     fuzzing [bsc#1011136]

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3222-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or     automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could     exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user     invoking the program.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Many security fixes, bug fixes, and other changes from the previous version 6.9.3.0. See the [6.9 branch ChangeLog](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/3fd358e2ac3 4977fda38a2cf4d88a1cb4dd2d7c7/ChangeLog).

Dependent packages are mostly straight rebuilds, a couple also include bugfix version updates.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An exploitable out of bounds write exists in the handling of compressed TIFF images in ImageMagicks's     convert utility. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an out of bounds write which in particular     circumstances could be leveraged into remote code execution. The vulnerability can be triggered through     any user controlled TIFF that is handled by this functionality. (CVE-2016-8707)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This security update for ImageMagick fixes the following issues :

  - a maliciously crafted compressed TIFF image could cause     code remote code execution in the convert utility in     particular circumstances (CVE-2016-8707, boo#1014159)

  - a memory allocation failure was fixed (CVE-2016-8866,     boo#1009318, follow up on CVE-2016-8862)

  - the identify utility could crash on maliciously crafted     images (CVE-2016-9773, boo#1013376, follow up on     CVE-2016-9556)

This update for ImageMagick fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-9556: Possible Heap-overflow found by fuzzing     [bsc#1011130]

  - CVE-2016-9559: Possible NULL pointer access found by     fuzzing [bsc#1011136]

  - CVE-2016-8707: Possible code execution in the tiff     deflate convert code [bsc#1014159]

  - CVE-2016-9773: Possible Heap overflow in IsPixelGray     [bsc#1013376]

  - CVE-2016-8866: Possible memory allocation failure in     AcquireMagickMemory [bsc#1009318]

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed TIFF, WPG, IPL, MPC or PSB files are processed.
