Ubuntu security bulletins (USN-523-1 - ImageMagick vulnerabilities)

USN-523-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Threat-level (*): Less-than-moderate

Affected Ubuntu versions:
  • Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
  • Ubuntu 6.10
  • Ubuntu 7.04
  • (and the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu)
It's recommended that you perform (at least) a standard system upgrade to avoid possible:
  • Remote attacks based on flaws of the ImageMagick libraries, with the following consequences:
    • arbitrary code execution with user privileges
