ImageMagick and CVE-2016-3714

Hello,

Recommended mitigation seems to be to tweak /etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml file but that does not appear to exist even with both ImageMagick packages installed.
Anyone know if I created this directory and file that the ImageMagick software will actually read the file?

Thanks,
Matt

To mitigate this I ended up doing the following :

vi /usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.4.3/config/configure.xml
add









cd /usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.4.3/modules-Q16/coders

mv mvg.so mvg.so.bak
mv msl.so msl.so.bak
mv label.so label.so.bak

Hi Matt,

I tried your approach but don’t work. I added the policy setting to configure.xml. However, I can still trigger the issue.

Thanks!

Hmm, well that sucks. All of the information I can find on how to mitigate this issue before any updates are issued lead me to believe that this should work.

Patch appears to be out for Suse 11 sp4 now …
