high Nessus Plugin ID 28128

Synopsis

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

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the image decoders of ImageMagick. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a malicious DCM, DIB, XBM, XCF, or XWD image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user 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.
