Details

It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly verify the dimensions
of TIFF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a
crafted TIFF file, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly
execute arbitrary 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 9.04

• libmagickcore1 - 7:6.4.5.4.dfsg1-1ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 8.10

• libmagick10 - 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 8.04

• libmagick10 - 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.06

• libmagick9 - 6:6.2.4.5-0.6ubuntu0.9

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
