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, memory disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are processed.

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick, a graphical software suite. Various memory handling problems or issues about incomplete input sanitizing would result in denial of service or memory disclosure.

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

  - In ImageMagick 7.0.7-16 Q16 x86_64 2017-12-21, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in ReadOneMNGImage     in coders/png.c, related to length calculation and caused by an off-by-one error. (CVE-2017-17879)

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

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in ImageMagick, an image manipulation program, that allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU exhaustion via an infinite loop), heap-based buffer overreads or possibly other unspecified impact via a crafted image file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3681-1 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
