Description:

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-12
(ImageMagick, imlib, imlib2: BMP decoding buffer overflows)


Due to improper bounds checking, ImageMagick and imlib are vulnerable to a
buffer overflow when decoding runlength-encoded bitmaps. This bug can be
exploited using a specially-crafted BMP image and could potentially allow
remote code execution when this image is decoded by the user.

Impact

A specially-crafted runlength-encoded BMP could lead ImageMagick and imlib
to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution:
All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.0.7.1"
# emerge ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.0.7.1"
All imlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r2"
# emerge ">=media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r2"
All imlib2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=media-libs/imlib2-1.1.2"
# emerge ">=media-libs/imlib2-1.1.2"


Risk factor : Medium
