Synopsis
========
ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick utilities can be abused to perform a
Denial of Service attack.
Background
==========
Both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are collection of tools to read,
write and manipulate images in many formats.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/imagemagick < 6.2.2.3 >= 6.2.2.3
2 media-gfx/graphicsmagick < 1.1.6-r1 >= 1.1.6-r1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered a
Denial of Service vulnerability in the XWD decoder of ImageMagick and
GraphicsMagick when setting a color mask to zero.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted image to a user or
an automated system making use of an affected utility, resulting in a
Denial of Service by consumption of CPU time.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.2.3"
All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.6-r1"
