Bugs: #664236
ID: 201810-04
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Due to multiple vulnerabilities in various coders used by ImageMagick,
Gentoo Linux now installs a policy.xml file which will restrict coder
usage by default.
Background
==========
ImageMagick is a collection of tools and libraries for many image
formats.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/imagemagick < 6.9.10.10-r1 >= 6.9.10.10-r1
< 7.0.8.10-r1 >= 7.0.8.10-r1
Description
===========
If you process an image with ImageMagick and don't validate the file
before (e.g. check magic byte), ImageMagick will call any coders found
in the given file. So if ImageMagick will find Ghostscript for example,
it will call Ghostscript.
Due to multiple -dSAFER sandbox bypass vulnerabilities in Ghostscript,
this can lead to arbitrary code execution.
To mitigate this problem we install a policy.xml file by default which
will disable PS, EPS, PDF, and XPS coders.
Impact
======
A remote attacker, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted
image file, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All ImageMagick 6 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.9.10.10-r1"
All ImageMagick 7 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-7.0.8.10-r1"
