  ImageMagick ReadSGIImage() Heap Overflow
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

 <http://www.imagemagick.org> ImageMagick is "a free software suite to 
create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write 
images in a large variety of formats". Remote exploitation of a heap 
overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick could allow execution of arbitrary 
code or cause denial of service.

DETAILS

A heap overflow exists in ReadSGIImage() function, that is used to decode 
a SGI image files. The vulnerable code is:

coders/sgi.c:

static Image *ReadSGIImage(const ImageInfo *image_info,ExceptionInfo 
*exception)
{
..
    iris_info.bytes_per_pixel=(unsigned char) ReadBlobByte(image);
..
    image->columns=iris_info.columns;
    image->rows=iris_info.rows;
..
    bytes_per_pixel=(size_t) iris_info.bytes_per_pixel;
    number_pixels=(MagickSizeType) iris_info.columns*iris_info.rows;
..
    iris_pixels=(unsigned char 
*)AcquireMagickMemory(4*bytes_per_pixel*iris_info.columns*iris_info.rows);

We can manipulate with iris_info.rows, iris_info.columns and 
bytes_per_pixel value. Allocation of memory to "iris_pixels" is based on 
this values. When rows*cols*bytes_per_pixe*4 overflow integer variable, we 
can alloc not enough memory for next operations, and cause heap overflow.

Proof of Concept:
Example crafted SGI file:  <http://overflow.pl/poc/imheap.sgi> 
http://overflow.pl/poc/imheap.sgi

[pucik@overflow ImageMagick-6.2.8]$ display imheap.sgi
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x08055dd0 ***
Abort (core dumped)
[pucik@overflow ImageMagick-6.2.8]$
