Releases [16.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=xenial) [14.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=trusty) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [imagemagick](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=imagemagick) - Image manipulation programs and library ## Details USN-3363-1 fixed vulnerabilities in ImageMagick. The update caused a regression for certain users when processing images. The problematic patch has been reverted pending further investigation. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: 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. ## Update instructions In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
