gentoo
March 6, 2012
Vulnerabilities found in ImageMagick might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Summary
Two vulnerabilities have been found in ImageMagick:
Resolution
IFD could cause memory corruption (CVE-2012-0247).
* IOP tag offsets pointing to the beginning of an IFD could cause an
infinite loop of ImageMagick parsing the IFD structure
(CVE-2012-0248).
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.7.5.3"
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.7.5.3"
