Debian DLA-1948-1 : ruby-mini-magick security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 129697

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In lib/mini_magick/image.rb in ruby-mini-magick, a fetched remote image filename could cause remote command execution because Image.open input is directly passed to Kernel#open, which accepts a '|' character followed by a command.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-mini-magick packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected ruby-mini-magick package.
