Descriptions

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in coders/tiff.c in ImageMagick. This issue may allow a local attacker to trick the user into opening a specially crafted file, resulting in an application crash and denial of service.

Se encontró una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento del búfer en coders/tiff.c en ImageMagick. Este problema puede permitir que un atacante local engañe al usuario para que abra un archivo especialmente manipulado, lo que provocará un bloqueo de la aplicación y una denegación de servicio.

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.
