CVE Reference: CVE-2008-1096
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Apr 17 2008
|
Impact: Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Version(s): 6.2.8-0 and prior versions
|
Description: A vulnerability was reported in ImageMagick. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted XCF file that, when processed by the target application, will trigger a heap overflow
and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target application.
The vulnerability
resides in the load_tile() function in 'coders/xcf.c'.
|
Impact: A remote user can create an XCF file that, when processed by the target application, will execute arbitrary code on the target system.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick parsed
XCF files. If a specially-crafted XCF image was opened, ImageMagick could
be made to overwrite heap memory beyond the bounds of its allocated memory.
This could, potentially, allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
machine running ImageMagick. (CVE-2008-1096)
