imagemagick vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - imagemagick - libmagick++6 - libmagick++6-dev - libmagick6 - libmagick6-dev - perlmagick Description : Markus Meissner discovered several potential buffer overflows in some image decoding functions of ImageMagick. Decoding a malicious BMP or DIB image or AVI video might result in execution of arbitrary code with the user's rights. Since imagemagick can be used in custom printing systems, this also might lead to privilege escalation (execute code with the printer spooler's rights). However, Ubuntu's standard printing system does not use imagemagick, thus there is no risk of privilege escalation in a standard installation. Solution : Upgrade to : - imagemagick-6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libmagick++6-6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libmagick++6-dev-6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libmagick6-6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - libmagick6-dev-6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - perlmagick-6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
