Attack vector
NETWORK Attack complexity
LOW Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
COMPLETE Integrity impact
COMPLETE Availability impact
COMPLETE Summary
Heap-based buffer overflow in the DecodeImage function in coders/pict.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.1.14, and 1.2.x before 1.2.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

| description | Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in graphicsmagick, a collection of image processing tool, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code, exposure of sensitive information or cause DoS. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2007-1667 Multiple integer overflows in XInitImage function in xwd.c for GraphicsMagick, allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information via crafted images with large or negative values that trigger a buffer overflow. It only affects the oldstable distribution (etch). - CVE-2007-1797 Multiple integer overflows allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted DCM image, or the colors or comments field in a crafted XWD image. It only affects the oldstable distribution (etch). - CVE-2007-4985 A crafted image file can trigger an infinite loop in the ReadDCMImage function or in the ReadXCFImage function. It only affects the oldstable distribution (etch). - CVE-2007-4986 Multiple integer overflows allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .dcm, .dib, .xbm, .xcf, or .xwd image file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. It only affects the oldstable distribution (etch). - CVE-2007-4988 A sign extension error allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted width value in an image file, which triggers an integer overflow and a heap-based buffer overflow. It affects only the oldstable distribution (etch). - CVE-2008-1096 The load_tile function in the XCF coder allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted .xcf file that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write. It affects only oldstable (etch). - CVE-2008-3134 Multiple vulnerabilities in GraphicsMagick before 1.2.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash, infinite loop, or memory consumption) via vectors in the AVI, AVS, DCM, EPT, FITS, MTV, PALM, RLA, and TGA decoder readers; and the GetImageCharacteristics function in magick/image.c, as reachable from a crafted PNG, JPEG, BMP, or TIFF file. - CVE-2008-6070 Multiple heap-based buffer underflows in the ReadPALMImage function in coders/palm.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.2.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PALM image. - CVE-2008-6071 Heap-based buffer overflow in the DecodeImage function in coders/pict.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.1.14, and 1.2.x before 1.2.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PICT image. - CVE-2008-6072 Multiple vulnerabilities in GraphicsMagick allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors in XCF and CINEON images. - CVE-2008-6621 Vulnerability in GraphicsMagick allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors in DPX images. - CVE-2009-1882 Integer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF file, which triggers a buffer overflow. |
