ImageMagick™ is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window
System that can read and write multiple image formats.
A shell command injection flaw was found in ImageMagick’s “display”
command. It is possible to execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user
into running “display” on a file with a specially crafted name. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name
CVE-2005-4601 to this issue.
A format string flaw was discovered in the way ImageMagick handles
filenames. It may be possible to execute arbitrary commands by tricking a
user into running a carefully crafted ImageMagick command. (CVE-2006-0082)
Users of ImageMagick should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues.
