Multiple vulnerabilities for ImageMagick – Risk: High
Risk level: 3 (high)
CVSS Base Score: 8,1
CVSS Temporal Score: 7,1
Remoteangriff: Ja
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is used to assess the severity of vulnerabilities in computer systems. The CVSS standard makes it possible to compare potential or actual security vulnerabilities based on various metrics in order to better prioritize countermeasures. The attributes “none”, “low”, “medium”, “high” and “critical” are used to determine the severity levels of a vulnerability. The Base Score evaluates the requirements for an attack (including authentication, complexity, privileges, user interaction) and its consequences. The temporal score also takes changes over time in the danger situation into account. The severity of the vulnerability discussed here is rated as “high” according to the CVSS with a base score of 8.1.
ImageMagick Bug: Description of the attack
ImageMagick is a collection of program libraries and tools that can process graphics in numerous formats.
A remote, anonymous attacker could exploit multiple vulnerabilities in ImageMagick to conduct a denial of service attack and gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability is identified with the unique CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) identification numbers. CVE-2017-13058, CVE-2017-13059, CVE-2017-13060, CVE-2017-13061, CVE-2017-13062, CVE-2017-13131, CVE-2017-13132, CVE-2017-13133, CVE-2017-13134, CVE-2017-13139, CVE-2017-13140, CVE-2017-13141, CVE-2017-13142, CVE-2017-13143, CVE-2017-13144, CVE-2017-13145 und CVE-2017-13146 traded.

General measures for dealing with IT vulnerabilities
Users of the affected applications should keep them up to date. When security gaps become known, manufacturers are required to fix them as quickly as possible by developing a patch or a workaround. If security patches are available, install them promptly. For information, consult the sources listed in the next section. These often contain further information about the latest version of the software in question as well as the availability of security patches or information about workarounds. If you have any further questions or uncertainties, please contact your responsible administrator. IT security managers should regularly check the sources mentioned to see whether a new security update is available.
