     Title: GraphicsMagick: PSD decoding heap overflow

      Bugs: #79336

Synopsis
=======
GraphicsMagick is vulnerable to a heap overflow when decoding Photoshop
Document (PSD) files, which could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Background
=========
GraphicsMagick is a collection of tools to read, write and manipulate
images in many formats. GraphicsMagick is originally derived from
ImageMagick 5.5.2.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package                   /  Vulnerable  /             Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  media-gfx/graphicsmagick       < 1.1.5                   >= 1.1.5

Description
==========
Andrei Nigmatulin discovered that handling a Photoshop Document (PSD)
file with more than 24 layers in ImageMagick could trigger a heap
overflow (GLSA 200501-26). GraphicsMagick is based on the same code and
therefore suffers from the same flaw.

Impact
=====
An attacker could potentially design a malicious PSD image file to
cause arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user running
GraphicsMagick.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All GraphicsMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/graphicsmagick-1.1.5"
