critical Nessus Plugin ID 183104

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5190-1 advisory.

It was discovered that GraphicsMagick allowed reading arbitrary files via specially crafted images. An attacker could use this issue to expose sensitive information. This issue only affects Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-12921)

It was discovered that GraphicsMagick did not correctly handle memory allocations for error messages. An attacker could use this issue to corrupt memory or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affects Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-19950)

It was discovered that GraphicsMagick did not correctly handle type limits. An attacker could use these issues to cause heap-based buffer overflows, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. These issues only affect Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-19951, CVE-2019-19953)

It was discovered that GraphicsMagick did not correctly handle the signed integer limit in 32-bit applications. An attacker could use this issue to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affects Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, and Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2020-10938)

It was discovered that GraphicsMagick did not properly magnify certain images. An attacker could use this issue to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12672)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
