Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in GraphicsMagick, a
collection of image processing tool, which can cause denial of service
attacks, remote file deletion, and remote command execution.
This security update removes the full support of PLT/Gnuplot decoder to
prevent Gnuplot-shell based shell exploits for fixing the
CVE-2016-3714
vulnerability.
The undocumented TMP magick prefix no longer removes the argument file
after it has been read for fixing the
CVE-2016-3715
vulnerability. Since the TMP feature was originally implemented,
GraphicsMagick added a temporary file management subsystem which assures
that temporary files are removed so this feature is not needed.
Remove support for reading input from a shell command, or writing output
to a shell command, by prefixing the specified filename (containing the
command) with a ‘|’ for fixing the
CVE-2016-5118
vulnerability.
