Fedora Core 2: FEDORA-2005-234 Critical: ImageMagick Buffer Overflow

Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important patch for Fedora Core 2 resolves buffer overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick, potentially enabling unauthorized code execution.
Andrei Nigmatulin discovered a heap based buffer overflow flaw in the ImageMagick image handler

Summary

ImageMagick(TM) 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 dis play images. If you want to develop your own applications

which use ImageMagick code or APIs, you need to install

ImageMagick-devel as well.

Andrei Nigmatulin discovered a heap based buffer overflow flaw in the

ImageMagick image handler. An attacker could create a carefully crafted

Photoshop Document (PSD) image in such a way that it would cause

ImageMagick to execute arbitrary code when processing the image. The

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has

assigned the name CAN-2005-0005 to this issue.

A format string bug was found in the way ImageMagick handles filenames.

An attacker could execute arbitrary code in a victims machine if they

are able to trick the victim into opening a file with a specially

crafted name. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project

(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0397 to this issue.

A bug was found in the way ImageMagick handles TIFF tags. It is possible

that a TIFF image file with an invalid tag could cause ImageMagick to

crash.

A bug was found in ImageMagick's TIFF decoder. It is possible that a

specially crafted TIFF image file could cause ImageMagick to crash.

A bug was found in the way ImageMagick parses PSD files. It is possilbe

that a specially crafted PSD file could cause ImageMagick to crash.

A heap overflow bug was found in ImageMagick's SGI parser. It is

possible

that an attacker could execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into

opening a specially crafted SGI image file.

- Update to 6.2.0 to fix a number of security issues:

- Drop a lot of upstreamed patches

* Tue Nov 23 2004 - 5.5.7.7-1.3

- Fix heap overflow, CAN-2004-0827

- buffer overflow in ImageMagick's EXIF parser, CAN-2004-0981
