Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in ImageMagick up to 6.9.4-3 (Image Processing Software). Affected by this vulnerability is the function ReadRLEImage of the file coders/rle.c of the component rle File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c in ImageMagick before 6.9.4-4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or other unspecified impact via a crafted RLE file.

The bug was discovered 12/26/2016. The weakness was published 03/23/2017 by Bastien Roucaries (oss-sec). The advisory is shared at openwall.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2016-10049 since 12/26/2016. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 57 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 97317 (SUSE SLED12 / SLES12 Security Update : ImageMagick (SUSE-SU-2017:0529-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 169721 (SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update for GraphicsMagick (SUSE-SU-2017:0518-1)).

Upgrading to version 6.9.4-4 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (97317) and SecurityFocus (BID 95180†). Similar entries are available at VDB-97468, VDB-97469, VDB-97470 and VDB-97471. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
