==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

if it received specially crafted input.

Software Description:
- ruby-image-processing: High-level image processing wrapper for libvips and 
ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick

Details:

It was discovered that ImageProcessing incorrectly handled series of operations
that are coming from unsanitised inputs. If a user or an automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
