ImageMagick before 6.9.11-40 and 7.x before 7.0.10-40 mishandles the -authenticate option, which allows setting a password for password-protected PDF files. The user-controlled password was not properly escaped/sanitized and it was therefore possible to inject additional shell commands via coders/pdf.c.

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: imagemagick, Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: imagemagick, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: imagemagick, Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS: imagemagick

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. (CVE-2020-29599)

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. (CVE-2021-20224)

Zhang Xiaohui discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing image data. 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. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-20241, CVE-2021-20243)

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain values when processing visual effects based image files. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could crash the application causing a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-20244, CVE-2021-20309)
