Synopsis

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

Description

Aleksis Kauppinen, Joonas Kuorilehto and Tuomas Parttimaa discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain restart markers in JPEG images. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG image, an attacker could exploit this to cause memory consumption, resulting in a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-0260)

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled decoding certain PSD images. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted PSD image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2014-1958, CVE-2014-2030).
