A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick 5.2/5.3/5.4/5.5 (Image Processing Software) and classified as critical. This issue affects the function setimageinfo of the file image.c. The manipulation of the argument filename with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Format string vulnerability in the SetImageInfo function in image.c for ImageMagick before 6.0.2.5 may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a filename argument to convert, which may be called by other web applications.

The bug was discovered 03/03/2005. The weakness was shared 05/02/2005 by Tavis Ormandy (Website). The advisory is shared at marc.info. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2005-0397 since 02/14/2005. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 29 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 17673 (Debian DSA-702-1 : imagemagick - several vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
