Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57310
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-337-1 (imagemagick)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to imagemagick
announced via advisory USN-337-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Damian Put discovered a buffer overflow in imagemagick's SGI file
format decoder. By tricking an user or automated system into
processing a specially crafted SGI image, this could be exploited to
execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
libmagick6 6:6.0.6.2-2.1ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 5.10:
libmagick6 6:6.2.3.4-1ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libmagick9 6:6.2.4.5-0.6ubuntu0.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.
