ImageMagick security update
Security Advisory: Moderate
Updated ImageMagick packages that fix a denial of service issue are now
available.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
ImageMagick(TM) is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window
System that can read and write multiple image formats.
A denial of service bug was found in the way ImageMagick parses XWD files.
A user or program executing ImageMagick to process a malicious XWD file can
cause ImageMagick to enter an infinite loop causing a denial of service
condition. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CAN-2005-1739 to this issue.
Users of ImageMagick should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch, and are not vulnerable to this issue.
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
