USN-5855-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
9 February 2023
Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
Releases
Packages
- imagemagick - Image manipulation programs and library
Details
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain PNG images.
If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
PNG file, an attacker could use this issue to cause ImageMagick to stop
responding, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain the
contents of arbitrary files by including them into images.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04
-
imagemagick-6.q16
-
8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.15
-
libmagickcore-6.q16-3-extra
-
8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.15
-
imagemagick
-
8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.15
-
libmagickcore-6.q16-3
-
8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.15
-
libmagick++-6.q16-7
-
8:6.9.7.4+dfsg-16ubuntu6.15
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
