More information:

Maor Shwartz, Jeremy Heng and Terry Chia discovered two security vulnerabilities in Graphicsmagick, a collection of image processing tool s.

• CVE-2017-16352

  Graphicsmagick was vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability found in the Display visual image directory feature of the DescribeImage() function of the magick/describe.c file. One possible way to trigger the vulnerability is to run the identify command on a specially crafted MIFF format file with the verbose flag.

• CVE-2017-16353

  Graphicsmagick was vulnerable to a memory information disclosure vulnerability found in the DescribeImage function of the magick/describe.c file, because of a heap-based buffer over-read. The portion of the code containing the vulnerability is responsible for printing the IPTC Profile information contained in the image. This vulnerability can be triggered with a specially crafted MIFF file. There is an out-of-bounds buffer dereference because certain increments are never checked.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.16-1.1+deb7u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphicsmagick packages.
