Synopsis
The remote Oracle Linux host is missing a security update.Description
The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2021-0024 advisory.- 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.
(CVE-2020-29599)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
