Background ========== GraphicsMagick is a collection of tools and libraries which support reading, writing, and manipulating images in many major formats. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-gfx/graphicsmagick < 1.1.7-r3 >= 1.1.7-r3 Description =========== M. Joonas Pihlaja has reported that a boundary error exists within the ReadDCMImage() function of coders/dcm.c, causing the improper handling of DCM images. Pihlaja also reported that there are several boundary errors in the ReadPALMImage() function of coders/palm.c, similarly causing the improper handling of PALM images. Impact ====== An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted DCM or PALM image with GraphicsMagick, and possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running GraphicsMagick. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.7-r3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-5456 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5456 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200611-07.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
