ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The shipped "secure" security policy includes a rule intended to prevent reading/writing from standard streams. However, ImageMagick also supports fd:<n> pseudo-filenames (e.g., fd:0, fd:1). Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, this path form is not blocked by the secure policy templates, and therefore bypasses the protection goal of "no stdin/stdout." Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch by including a change to the more secure policies by default. As a workaround, add the change to one's security policy manually.
AnalysisAI
ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 allow local attackers to bypass the secure policy's stdin/stdout restrictions by using fd:<n> pseudo-filenames (e.g., fd:0, fd:1), enabling unauthorized reading and writing to standard streams. This vulnerability affects systems relying on ImageMagick's default security policies to prevent stream manipulation. …
