Mageia 8: MGASA-2023-0136 Moderate: ImageMagick SVG Denial Of Service

A vulnerability was discovered in ImageMagick where a specially created SVG file loads itself and causes a segmentation fault. This flaw allows a remote attacker to pass a specially crafted SVG file that leads to a segmentation fault, generating many trash files in "/tmp," resulting in a denial of service. When ImageMagick crashes, it generates a lot of trash . MGASA-2023-0136 - Updated imgagmagick packages fix security vulnerability Publication date: 11 Apr 2023 URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2023-0136.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 8 CVE: CVE-2023-1289 A vulnerability was discovered in ImageMagick where a specially created SVG file loads itself and causes a segmentation fault. This flaw allows a remote attacker to pass a specially crafted SVG file that leads to a segmentation fault, generating many trash files in "/tmp," resulting in a denial of service. When ImageMagick crashes, it generates a lot of trash files. These trash files can be large if the SVG file contains many render actions. In a denial of service attack, if a remote attacker uploads an SVG file of size t, ImageMagick generates files of size 103*t. If an attacker uploads a 100M SVG, the server will generate about 10G.
