CVE-2020-29599

ImageMagick versiones anteriores a 6.9.11-40 y versiones 7.x anteriores a 7.0.10-40 maneja inapropiadamente la opción -authenticate, que permite establecer una contraseña para archivos PDF protegidos con contraseña. La contraseña controlada por el usuario no era escapada y saneada apropiadamente y, por lo tanto, fue posible inyectar comandos de shell adicionales por medio del archivo coders/pdf.c

A flaw was found in ImageMagick. The -authenticate option is mishandled allowing user-controlled password set for a PDF file to possibly inject additional shell commands via coders/pdf.c. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled the "-authenticate" option for password-protected PDF files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject additional shell commands and perform arbitrary code execution. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing PDF files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted PDF file, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
