Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51804
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-90-1 (imagemagick)
Summary:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-90-1 (imagemagick)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to imagemagick announced via advisory USN-90-1. Tavis Ormandy discovered a format string vulnerability in ImageMagick's file name handling. Specially crafted file names could cause a program using ImageMagick to crash, or possibly even cause execution of arbitrary code. Since ImageMagick can be used in custom printing systems, this also might lead to privilege escalation (execute code with the printer spooler's privileges). However, Ubuntu's standard printing system does not use ImageMagick, thus there is no risk of privilege escalation in a standard installation. ImageMagick is also commonly used by web frontends if these accept image uploads with arbitrary file names, this could also lead to remote privilege escalation. The following packages are affected: imagemagick libmagick6 Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 5:6.0.2.5-1ubuntu1.4. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-90-1 Risk factor : High
