Synopsis
=======
ImageMagick contains an error in boundary checks when handling EXIF information, which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Background
=========
ImageMagick is a collection of tools to read, write and manipulate images in many formats.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/imagemagick < 6.1.3.2 >= 6.1.3.2
Description
==========
ImageMagick fails to do proper bounds checking when handling image files with EXIF information.
Impact
=====
An attacker could use an image file with specially-crafted EXIF information to cause arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user running ImageMagick.
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-6.1.3.2"
