Amazon Linux 2 : ImageMagick (ALAS-2023-2178)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 179780

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 ALAS2-2023-2178 advisory.

 - A heap-based buffer overflow issue was found in ImageMagick's PushCharPixel() function in quantum- private.h. This issue may allow a local attacker to trick the user into opening a specially crafted file, triggering an out-of-bounds read error and allowing an application to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-3745)

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.
