Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : ImageProcessing vulnerability (USN-6675-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 191561

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6675-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that ImageProcessing incorrectly handled series of operations that are coming from unsanitised inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected ruby-image-processing package.
