Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 931932.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2019-13574.

More information:

In lib/mini_magick/image.rb in ruby-mini-magick, a fetched remote image filename could cause remote command execution because Image.open input is directly passed to Kernel#open, which accepts a '|' character followed by a command.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-mini-magick packages.
