Arch Linux Security Warning        ALSW 2007-#8
- ------------------------------------------------------------

Name:      imagemagick
Date:      2007-02-15
Severity:  Normal
Warning #: 2007-#8

- ------------------------------------------------------------

Product Background
===================

ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap
images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats
(about 100) including DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG,
Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror,
rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply
various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and
Bézier curves.

Problem Background
===================

Vladimir Nadvornik discovered that the fix for a vulnerability in the
PALM decoder of Imagemagick, a collection of image manipulation programs,
was ineffective.

Impact
======

Buffer overflow in GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick allows user-assisted
remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute
arbitrary code via a PALM image that is not properly handled by the
ReadPALMImage function in coders/palm.c. NOTE: this issue is due to an
incomplete patch for CVE-2006-5456.

Problem Packages
