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-6960-1 advisory.

 Nick Browning discovered that RMagick incorrectly handled memory under

 certain operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause

 a denial of service through memory exhaustion.
