Summary
Several buffer overflows were found in Imagemagick, a suite of image manipulation programs. Processing malformed PSD files could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Insight
Insight
ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bezier curves. All manipulations can be achieved through shell commands as well as through an X11 graphical interface (display).
