Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 8.04 LTS / 8.10 / 9.04 : imagemagick vulnerability (USN-784-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 39337

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly verify the dimensions of TIFF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted TIFF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

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.
