Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-05-30 08:16:00 UTC
From ${URL} :

All existing releases of GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick support a file
open syntax where if the first character of the file specification is
a '|', then the remainder of the filename is passed to the shell for
execution using the POSIX popen(3C) function.  File opening is handled
by an OpenBlob() function in the source file blob.c.  Unlike the
vulnerability described by CVE-2016-3714, this functionality is
supported by the core file opening function rather than a delegates
subsystem usually used to execute external programs.

The funtionality can be demonstrated as follows:

   % rm -f hello.txt
   % convert '|echo Hello > hello.txt;' null:
   % ls hello.txt
   hello.txt

The same weakness in the native SVG readers may be used to provoke
this problem.  This example returns a valid image given a known file 
(but an actual file is not necessary):

   <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
   <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
   <svg width="4in" height="3in" version="1.1"
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
   <desc>Illustrates how a shell command may be embedded in a SVG.
   </desc>
   <image x="200" y="200" width="100px" height="100px"
   xlink:href="|echo Hello > hello.txt; cat /usr/lib/firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png">
   <title>My image</title>
   </image>
   </svg>

Or in MVG:

   push graphic-context
   viewbox 0 0 640 480
   image copy 200,200 100,100 "|echo Hello > hello.txt; cat /usr/lib/firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png"
   pop graphic-context

Previously supplied recommended patches for GraphicsMagick do 
successfully block this attack vector in SVG and MVG.

It is highly likely that there are many paths leading to a suitable 
filename which may be executed outside of SVG and MVG since the 
software is quite complex and powerful.  The examples above are not 
meant to suggest that other avenues to the same weakness are not 
available.

The simple solution to the problem is to disable the popen support 
(HAVE_POPEN) in GraphicsMagick's magick/blob.c as is done by the 
attached patch.


@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2016-05-31 00:03:17 UTC
This affects imagemagick as well. 6.9.4-5 and 7.0.1-7 have been released upstream and contain fixes related to this. Given the severity of these imagemagick issues I think we're handling them too slowly. Please bump asap and start stabilization.

@security, please do the stable request for both packages. In case of imagemagick we cannot stabilize version 7 as it still breaks too many packages.

Arches please test and mark stable the following two packages.

=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.9.4.6 with target KEYWORDS:

Stable for PPC64.
Comment 7 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-06-06 11:16:21 UTC
Not holding this up because Security, but it newly fails the test suite (6.9.4.1 passes, IIRC). I'll file a separate bug about that.

Both stable on alpha.

CVE-2016-5118 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-5118):
  The OpenBlob function in blob.c in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 and
  ImageMagick allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a | (pipe)
  character at the start of a filename.
