Amazon Linux 2 : ImageMagick (ALAS-2023-2128)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 178547

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote host is prior to 6.9.10.97-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2128 advisory.

 - A stack-based buffer overflow issue was found in ImageMagick's coders/tiff.c. This flaw allows an attacker to trick the user into opening a specially crafted malicious tiff file, causing an application to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3195)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update ImageMagick' to update your system.
