Synopsis:          Updated ImageMagick packages fix security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2004:494-01
Issue date:        2004-10-20
Updated on:        2004-10-20
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names:         CAN-2003-0455 CAN-2004-0827
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated ImageMagick packages that fix various security vulnerabilities are
now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386

3. Problem description:

ImageMagick(TM) is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window
System.

A heap overflow flaw was discovered in the ImageMagick image handler.
An attacker could create a carefully crafted BMP file 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-2004-0827 to this issue.

A temporary file handling bug has been found in ImageMagick's libmagick
library.  A local user could overwrite or create files as a different user
if a program was linked with the vulnerable library.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2003-0455 to this issue.

Users of ImageMagick should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch, and is not vulnerable to this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
