How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 imagemagick to version 8:6.9.10.23+dfsg-2.1ubuntu11.9 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imagemagick package and not the imagemagick package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

ImageMagick before 6.9.11-40 and 7.x before 7.0.10-40 mishandles the -authenticate option, which allows setting a password for password-protected PDF files. The user-controlled password was not properly escaped/sanitized and it was therefore possible to inject additional shell commands via coders/pdf.c.
