Debian 7 DLA-1168-1 Urgent: Graphicsmagick Denial of Service Vulnerability
debian lts
November 10, 2017
A remote denial of service vulnerability has been discovered in graphicsmagick, a collection of image processing tools and associated libraries
Summary
A specially crafted file can be used to produce a heap-based buffer
overflow and application crash by exploiting a defect in the
AcquireCacheNexus function in magick/pixel_cache.c.
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1.3.16-1.1+deb7u14.
We recommend that you upgrade your graphicsmagick packages.
Note: The previous graphicsmagick package inadvertently introduced a
dependency on liblcms2-2. This version of the package returns to using
liblcms1. If your system does not otherwise require liblcms2-2, you
may want to consider removing it following the graphicsmagick upgrade.
