medium Nessus Plugin ID 213088

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7164-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly exploit this to cause a denial of service.
