Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in ImageMagick up to 7.0.5-1 (Image Processing Software). Affected is the function ReadRLEImage of the file coders/rle.c of the component RLE Decoder. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information disclosure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-200. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 uses uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space, as demonstrated by remote attacks against ImageMagick code in a long-running server process that converts image data on behalf of multiple users. This is caused by a missing initialization step in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c.

The bug was discovered 03/09/2017. The weakness was published 05/19/2017 by Chris Evans (Website). The advisory is shared for download at hg.code.sf.net. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2017-9098 since 05/19/2017. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1592.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 71 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 100433 (Debian DSA-3863-1 : imagemagick - security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 170075 (SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update for GraphicsMagick (SUSE-SU-2017:1600-1)).

Upgrading to version 7.0.5-2 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 6 days after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
