USN-3711-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 18.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 17.10
• Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
• Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

Packages

• imagemagick - Image manipulation programs and library

Details

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed
image files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked
into opening a specially crafted 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.
