Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59310
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 5 FEDORA-2006-588 (ImageMagick)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to ImageMagick
announced via advisory FEDORA-2006-588.

ImageMagick(TM) is an image display and manipulation tool for the X
Window System. ImageMagick can read and write JPEG, TIFF, PNM, GIF,
and Photo CD image formats. It can resize, rotate, sharpen, color
reduce, or add special effects to an image, and when finished you can
either save the completed work in the original format or a different
one. ImageMagick also includes command line programs for creating
animated or transparent .gifs, creating composite images, creating
thumbnail images, and more.

ImageMagick is one of your choices if you need a program to manipulate
and dis play images. If you want to develop your own applications
which use ImageMagick code or APIs, you need to install
ImageMagick-devel as well.

Update Information:

ImageMagick's DisplayImageCommand contains a heap
overflow flaw. It is possible to pass an unexpanded
glob to ImageMagick which will be expanded by ImageMagick
and overflow heap memory.
