Amazon Linux 2 : ImageMagick (ALAS-2023-1961)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 171820

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 6.9.10.68-6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1961 advisory.

 - ImageMagick 7.1.0-49 is vulnerable to Denial of Service. When it parses a PNG image (e.g., for resize), the convert process could be left waiting for stdin input. (CVE-2022-44267)

 - ImageMagick 7.1.0-49 is vulnerable to Information Disclosure. When it parses a PNG image (e.g., for resize), the resulting image could have embedded the content of an arbitrary. file (if the magick binary has permissions to read it). (CVE-2022-44268)

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

Solution

Run 'yum update ImageMagick' to update your system.
