- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3357-2 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Bastien Roucaris March 18, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : imagemagick Version : 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1+deb10u4 CVE ID :
Debian Bug : #1032998

The previous Imagemagick security update caused a regression in some perl packages due to overly restrictive hardening in a policy update (reading from /etc/ was forbidden). This hardening patch has been removed.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

For the detailed security status of imagemagick please refer to its security tracker page at:
