Description Lubomir Kundrak 2006-10-16 15:49:30 UTC
Description of problem:

M. Joonas Pihlaja discovered security flaws in GraphicsMagick that also affect
ImageMagick -- one possible buffer overflow in coders/dcm.c:ReadDCMImage() and
three possible heap overflows in 
coders/palm.c:ReadPALMImage(). Debian project includes a fix for GraphicsMagick
1.1.7 among other changes in their patch.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Potentially exploitable by maliciously crafted image.

Fix:

I attach the relevant part of the debian patch. It doesn't apply against
ImageMagick without modifications, because GraphicMagics project uses different
coding style. The patch needs to be reviewed and eventually needs to be rewritten.

Picked up and have ported the patch into ImageMagick and done a test build
locally. Will be looking into which all releases are impacted tomorrow.

Suse has informed us that there is a bug in this patch, here is the corrected chunk:

Comment 6 David Eisenstein 2007-01-28 13:26:45 UTC
This bug ticket was used as a reference for a Fedora Core 5 fix for the 
CVE-2006-5456 issue in ImageMagick.  Because of comment #5, I verified
the patch used for FC-5 for this issue, at this URL:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/ImageMagick/FC-5/ImageMagick-6.2.5-cve-2006-5456.patch?sortby=date&view=markup

It looks like the section mentioned in comment #5 is fine in FC-5's patch.

Am I missing something, Josh, or is it just in a proposed patch for an
RHEL package for which the issue in comment #5 is relevant?


Comment 7 Norm Murray 2007-02-01 06:47:13 UTC
I have to disagree with the updated chunk as it is possible to reach that
section of code with count uninitialized which would then result in an infinite
loop. 

        if (compressionType == PALM_COMPRESSION_RLE)
          {
            image->compression=RLECompression;
            for (i=0; i < (long) bytes_per_row; )
            {
              count=Min(ReadBlobByte(image),bytes_per_row-i);
              byte=ReadBlobByte(image);
              (void) ResetMagickMemory(one_row+i,(int) byte,count);
              i+=count;
            }
        }

being the whole segment. If count == 0 at the beginning of that loop, then one
will never get out of it. 

Additionally upstream maintains (in current svn) something closer to the
original chunk:
          if (compressionType == PALM_COMPRESSION_RLE)
            { 
              /* TODO move out of loop! */
              image->compression=RLECompression;
              for (i=0; i < (long) bytes_per_row; )
              {
                count=(ssize_t) Min(ReadBlobByte(image),(long) bytes_per_row-i);
                byte=(unsigned long) ReadBlobByte(image);
                (void) ResetMagickMemory(one_row+i,(int) byte,(size_t) count);
                i+=count;
              }
          }
