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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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.
