GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2016-188
Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published May 20, 2016
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly sanitize certain input before passing it to the delegate functionality. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted image that, when processed by an application using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user using the ImageMagick utilities, would lead to arbitrary execution of shell commands with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2016-3714). It was discovered that certain ImageMagick coders and pseudo-protocols did not properly prevent security sensitive operations when processing specially crafted images. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted image that, when processed by an application using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user using the ImageMagick utilities, would allow the attacker to delete, move, or disclose the contents of arbitrary files (CVE-2016-3715, CVE-2016-3716, CVE-2016-3717). A server-side request forgery flaw was discovered in the way ImageMagick processed certain images. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to mislead an application using ImageMagick or an unsuspecting user using the ImageMagick utilities into, for example, performing HTTP(S) requests or opening FTP sessions via specially crafted images (CVE-2016-3718). The imagemagick package has been updated to version 6.9.4-2 to fix these issues and several other bugs.
