Description Andrej Nemec 2016-10-10 08:50:09 UTC
Two security issues have been discovered in the WPG format reader in
GraphicsMagick 1.3.25 (and earlier):

1. CVE-2016-7996
   In a build with QuantumDepth=8 (the default), there is no check
   that the provided colormap is not larger than 256 entries,
   resulting in potential heap overflow.  This problem does not occur
   with larger QuantumDepth values.

2. CVE-2016-7997
   The assertion:

   ReferenceBlob: Assertion `blob != (BlobInfo *) NULL' failed.

   is thrown (causing a crash) for some files due to a logic error
   which leads to passing a NULL pointer where a NULL pointer is not
   allowed.

Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2016-10-10 08:51:18 UTC
Created GraphicsMagick tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1383225]
Affects: epel-all [bug 1383226]

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2017-03-02 14:31:11 UTC
Fwiw, only el6's GraphicsMagick doesn't use --with-quantum-depth=16 build option, so I'm guessing that's the only one vulnerable here.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2017-03-02 14:50:12 UTC
Sorry, that's (apparently) only issue 1.  I'll pull in both fixes

Comment 4 Product Security DevOps Team 2019-06-08 02:59:52 UTC
