Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in
ImageMagick, possibly
resulting in arbitrary code execution or a Denial of
Service.

Background
==========

ImageMagick is a collection of tools and libraries for
manipulating
various image formats.

Affected packages
=================

   
------------------------------------------------------------
-------
     Package                /  Vulnerable  /               
Unaffected
   
------------------------------------------------------------
-------
  1  media-gfx/imagemagick     < 6.3.5.10                
 >= 6.3.5.10

Description
===========

regenrecht reported multiple infinite loops in functions
ReadDCMImage()
and ReadXCFImage() (CVE-2007-4985), multiple integer
overflows when
handling certain types of images (CVE-2007-4986,
CVE-2007-4988), and an
off-by-one error in the ReadBlobString() function
(CVE-2007-4987).

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially
crafted
image, possibly resulting in the remote execution of
arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running the application, or
an
excessive CPU consumption. Note that applications relying
on
ImageMagick to process images can also trigger the
vulnerability.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.5.10"
