Amazon Linux 2 : ImageMagick, --advisory ALAS2-2025-3009 (ALAS-2025-3009)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 266164

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 ALAS2-2025-3009 advisory.

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. ImageMagick versions lower than 14.8.2 include insecure functions: SeekBlob(), which permits advancing the stream offset beyond the current end without increasing capacity, and WriteBlob(), which then expands by quantum + length (amortized) instead of offset + length, and copies to data + offset. When offset [?] extent, the copy targets memory beyond the allocation, producing a deterministic heap write on 64-bit builds. No 264 arithmetic wrap, external delegates, or policy settings are required. This is fixed in version 14.8.2.
 (CVE-2025-57807)

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' or or 'yum update --advisory ALAS2-2025-3009' to update your system.
