  • CVE-2019-11009: Fixed a heap-based buffer over-read in ReadXWDImage() (bsc#1132053).

  • Added extra -config- packages with Postscript/EPS/PDF readers still enabled.

    Removing the PS decoders is used to harden ImageMagick against security issues within ghostscript. Enabling them might impact security. (bsc#1122033)

    These are two packages that can be selected:

    • ImageMagick-config-6-SUSE: This has the PS decoders disabled.
    • ImageMagick-config-6-upstream: This has the PS decoders enabled.

    Depending on your local needs install either one of them. The default is the -SUSE configuration.

imagemagick vulnerabilities

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.

Due to a large number of issues discovered in GhostScript that prevent it from being used by ImageMagick safely, the update for Ubuntu 18.10 and Ubuntu 19.04 includes a default policy change that disables support for the Postscript and PDF formats in ImageMagick. This policy can be overridden if necessary by using an alternate ImageMagick policy configuration.
