    Package:             imagemagick
    Vulnerability:       create or overwrite files
    OpenPKG Specific:    no
    
    Affected Releases:   Affected Packages:              Corrected Packages:
    OpenPKG CURRENT      <= imagemagick-5.5.6.0-20030409 >= imagemagick-5.5.7.0-20030512
    OpenPKG 1.2          <= imagemagick-5.5.3.2-1.2.0    >= imagemagick-5.5.3.2-1.2.1
    OpenPKG 1.1          <= imagemagick-5.4.8.2-1.1.0    >= imagemagick-5.4.8.2-1.1.1
    
    Dependent Packages:  none
    
    Description:
      According to a Debian security advisory [0] ImageMagick's [1]
      libmagick library, under certain circumstances, creates temporary
      files without taking appropriate security precautions. This
      vulnerability could be exploited by a local user to create or
      overwrite files with the privileges of another user who is invoking a
      program using this library. Research has shown that all versions of
      ImageMagick before 5.5.7.0 are affected on the officially supported
      OpenPKG platforms. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
      project assigned the id CAN-2003-0455 [2] to the problem.
    
      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
      imagemagick". If you have the "imagemagick" package installed and its
      version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
      upgrade it (see Solution). [3][4]
    
    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
      location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
      from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary
      RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following
      operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
      adjust accordingly).
    
      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
      ftp> get imagemagick-5.5.3.2-1.2.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig imagemagick-5.5.3.2-1.2.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild imagemagick-5.5.3.2-1.2.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/imagemagick-5.5.3.2-1.2.1.*.rpm
