The remote host is missing an update for the 'GraphicsMagick' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2016-752 advisory. A possible heap overflow was discovered in the EscapeParenthesis() function (CVE-2016-7447). Various issues were found in the processing of SVG files in GraphicsMagick (CVE-2016-7446). The TIFF reader had a bug pertaining to use of TIFFGetField() which could allow an untrusted file to crash the software (CVE-2016-7449). The Utah RLE reader did not validate header information, causing a denial of service (CVE-2016-7448)

Various issues were found in the processing of SVG files in GraphicsMagick (CVE-2016-7446).

The TIFF reader had a bug pertaining to use of TIFFGetField() when a 'count' value is returned. The bug caused a heap read overflow (due to using strlcpy() to copy a possibly unterminated string) which could allow an untrusted file to crash the software (CVE-2016-7449).

The Utah RLE reader did not validate that header information was reasonable given the file size and so it could cause huge memory allocations and/or consume huge amounts of CPU, causing a denial of service (CVE-2016-7448)");
