Summary

The remote host is missing an update to imagemagick announced via advisory DSA 957-1. Florian Weimer discovered that delegate code in ImageMagick is vulnerable to shell command injection using specially crafted file names. This allows attackers to encode commands inside of graphic commands. With some user interaction, this is exploitable through Gnus and Thunderbird. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 5.4.4.5-1woody7.
