Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in ImageMagick up to 6.9.13-56/7.1.2-31. This affects some unknown functionality of the component Delegate Symlink Cleanup. The manipulation of the argument MAGICK_SHRED_PASSES with an unknown input leads to a symlink vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-61. The product, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the product to operate on unauthorized files. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to 7.1.2-32, delegate symlink cleanup does not check the MAGICK_SHRED_PASSES environment variable, allowing a local privileged workflow to overwrite a file with random data.
