Ubuntu 5.04 / 5.10 / 6.06 LTS : imagemagick vulnerabilities (USN-340-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 27919

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

Tavis Ormandy discovered several buffer overflows in imagemagick's Sun Raster and XCF (Gimp) image decoders. By tricking a user or automated system into processing a specially crafted image, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the users' privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
