========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3363-2 July 31, 2017 imagemagick regression ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary: USN-3363-1 caused a regression in ImageMagick. Software Description: - imagemagick: Image manipulation programs and library Details: USN-3363-1 fixed vulnerabilities in ImageMagick. The update caused a regression for certain users when processing images. The problematic patch has been reverted pending further investigation. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory 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. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.9 imagemagick-6.q16 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.9 libmagick++-6.q16-5v5 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.9 libmagickcore-6.q16-2 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.9 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: imagemagick 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3.9 libmagick++5 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3.9 libmagickcore5 8:6.7.7.10-6ubuntu3.9 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
