Multiple Vendor ImageMagick DCM and XWD Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

iDefense Security Advisory 03.31.07
http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/
Mar 31, 2007

I. BACKGROUND

ImageMagick is used as a suite of image manipulation tools (animate,
composite, conjure, convert, display, identify, import, mogrify, and
montage) which are sometimes used by other applications for processing
image files. For more information about ImageMagick visit the following
URL.

http://www.imagemagick.org/

II. DESCRIPTION

Remote exploitation of several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
ImageMagick, as included in various vendors' operating system
distributions, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the
credentials used for image processing.

An integer overflow exists ImageMagick's handling of DCM (Digital
Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format files which allows an
attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. This vulnerability
specifically exists in the ReadDCMImage() function.

Two integer overflows exists ImageMagick's handling of XWD (X Windows
Dump) format files that allows an attacker to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow. The vulnerabilities specifically exist in the ReadXWDImage()
function. An integer overflow could occur when calculating the amount
of memory to allocate for the 'colors' or 'comment' field.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows attackers to execute
arbitrary code in the context of the user that started the affected
program. Since the tools that are part of ImageMagick are sometimes
used as helper tools by web applications, this user may be the same as
the httpd user.

To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would need to get a
maliciously constructed image file processed by one of the affected
applications. This could be accomplished by uploading to a
web-application or using social engineering tactics.

While neither aforementioned format is widely used, ImageMagick does not
determine the file type by its extension, allowing it to be disguised as
another file type.

IV. DETECTION

iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in
ImageMagick version 6.3.x. Additionally, the source code for versions
6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3-3 and 6.2.9 contain the affected code. It is
suspected that earlier versions of ImageMagick are also vulnerable.

V. WORKAROUND

Exposure to these vulnerabilities can be mitigated by moving or deleting
the DCM and XWD module files from the ImageMagick modules directory.
However, this will remove support for these image formats altogether.

VI. VENDOR RESPONSE

The ImageMagick maintainers have addressed these vulnerabilities in
version 6.3.3-5 of ImageMagick.

VII. CVE INFORMATION

A Mitre Corp. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) number has not
been assigned yet.

VIII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE

03/20/2007  Initial vendor response
03/31/2007  Coordinated public disclosure
