Synopsis
========

GraphicsMagick is vulnerable to a heap overflow when decoding Photoshop
Document (PSD) files, which could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

GraphicsMagick is a collection of tools to read, write and manipulate
images in many formats. GraphicsMagick is originally derived from
ImageMagick 5.5.2.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 media-gfx/graphicsmagick < 1.1.5 >= 1.1.5

Description
===========

Andrei Nigmatulin discovered that handling a Photoshop Document (PSD)
file with more than 24 layers in ImageMagick could trigger a heap
overflow (GLSA 200501-26). GraphicsMagick is based on the same code and
therefore suffers from the same flaw.

Impact
======

An attacker could potentially design a malicious PSD image file to
cause arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user running
GraphicsMagick.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.5"
