USN-3785-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
4 October 2018
imagemagick vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
o Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
o Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
Software Description
o imagemagick - Image manipulation programs and library
Details
Due to a large number of issues discovered in GhostScript that prevent it from
being used by ImageMagick safely, this update includes a default policy change
that disables support for the Postscript and PDF formats in ImageMagick. This
policy can be overridden if necessary by using an alternate ImageMagick policy
configuration.
It was discovered that several memory leaks existed when handling certain
images in ImageMagick. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2018-14434, CVE-2018-14435, CVE-2018-14436, CVE-2018-14437,
CVE-2018-16640, CVE-2018-16750)
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly initialize a variable
before using it when processing MAT images. An attacker could use this to cause
a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-14551)
It was discovered that an information disclosure vulnerability existed in
ImageMagick when processing XBM images. An attacker could use this to expose
sensitive information. (CVE-2018-16323)
It was discovered that an out-of-bounds write vulnerability existed in
ImageMagick when handling certain images. An attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-16642)
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly check for errors in some
situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2018-16643)
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly validate image meta data in
some situations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2018-16644)
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not prevent excessive memory allocation
when handling certain image types. An attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service. (CVE-2018-16645)
Sergej Schumilo and Cornelius Aschermann discovered that ImageMagick did not
properly check for NULL in some situations when processing PNG images. An
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-16749)
USN-3681-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Imagemagick. Unfortunately, the fix for
CVE-2017-13144 introduced a regression in ImageMagick in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update reverts the fix for CVE-2017-13144 for those
releases.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
