      * Sun Alert ID: 57648
      * Synopsis: Security Vulnerabilities in ImageMagick(1) May Allow a
        Remote Unprivileged User to Execute Arbitrary Code
      * Category: Security
      * Product: Sun Java Desktop System (JDS)
      * BugIDs: 5103546
      * Avoidance: Patch

1. Impact

    Due to multiple vulnerabilities in ImageMagick(1), a remote
    unprivileged user may be able to execute arbitrary code with the
    privileges of a local user if that local user uses one of the
    ImageMagick(1) tools to load a bitmap (.bmp) format image file or an
    Audio Video Interleave (AVI) movie supplied by an untrusted remote
    user.

    Note: ImageMagick(1) provides a suite of command-line utilities for
    creating, converting, editing, and displaying images.

    These issues are described in the following document:

    These issues can occur in the following releases:

    Linux Platform

      * Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) 2003 without the updated RPMs
        (patch-9346)
      * Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) Release 2 without the updated RPMs
        (patch-9346)

    Note: JDS for Solaris is not impacted by these issues.

     Sun Java Desktop System, Release 2 -build 10b (GA)
     Assembled 30 March 2004

    To determine the version of ImageMagick, the following command can be
    run:

     % rpm -qf /usr/bin/animate
     ImageMagick-5.4.7-269
