Is there a proper fix for DSA-4316?

Post by KernelDeimos »

Haiyo,

Recently a website I maintain stopped working due to a policy update.

My understanding comes from this Stack Overflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52817741/

As well as this page on SecurityDatabase.com: https://www.security-database.com/detai ... t=DSA-4316


The modified policy disables reading PDF files, which is an important function for our service. The only way we've found to solve the problem is by removing the policy updates.

Is there a proper way to configure ImageMagick to be protected from this vulnerability while still reading PDF files, or is a proper fix still pending?

Have you tried editing the policy.xml file to uncomment this line

Code: Select all

 <!-- <policy domain="module" rights="none" pattern="{PS,PDF,XPS}" /> -->
and change rights to read|write

Code: Select all

 <policy domain="module" rights="read|write" pattern="{PS,PDF,XPS}" />
