Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / 9.10 / 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : imagemagick vulnerability (USN-1028-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 51075

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that ImageMagick would search for configuration files in the current directory. If a user were tricked into opening or processing an image in an arbitrary directory, a local attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's 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.
