Description

A flaw was found in ImageMagick. An insecure search path vulnerability allows a local attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution by placing a malicious executable into the application's working directory. When converting document formats such as PDF or PostScript on Windows systems without a registered Ghostscript installation, ImageMagick attempts to launch the external helper program by name without specifying a full path. This causes the application to run the untrusted binary with the privileges of the ImageMagick process.
