PARTIAL Summary
The AcquireMagickMemory function in MagickCore/memory.c in ImageMagick 7.0.3.3 before 7.0.3.8 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted image, which triggers a memory allocation failure. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-8862.
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.

NASL family Huawei Local Security Checks NASL id EULEROS_SA-2020-1390.NASL description According to the versions of the ImageMagick packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - ImageMagick 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 display images. If you want to develop your own applications which use ImageMagick code or APIs, you need to install ImageMagick-devel as well.Security Fix(es):The HorizontalFilter function in resize.c in ImageMagick before 6.8.9-9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted image file.(CVE-2014-8354)PCX parser code in ImageMagick before 6.8.9-9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read).(CVE-2014-8355)DCM decode in ImageMagick before 6.8.9-9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read).(CVE-2014-8562)The JPEG decoder in ImageMagick before 6.8.9-9 allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and crash).(CVE-2014-8716)Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted xpm file.(CVE-2014-9821)Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted quantum file.(CVE-2014-9822)Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted palm file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9819.(CVE-2014-9823)Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted psd file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9825.(CVE-2014-9824)Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted psd file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9824.(CVE-2014-9825)coders/pnm.c in ImageMagick 6.9.0-1 Beta and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted png file.(CVE-2014-9837)distribute-cache.c in ImageMagick re-uses objects after they have been destroyed, which allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via unspecified vectors.(CVE-2014-9852)Memory leak in coders/rle.c in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted rle file.(CVE-2014-9853)coders/tiff.c in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors related to the last seen 2020-05-06 modified 2020-04-15 plugin id 135519 published 2020-04-15 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/135519 title EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : ImageMagick (EulerOS-SA-2020-1390) NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-756.NASL description Numerous vulnerabilities were discovered in ImageMagick, an image manipulation program.
