Amazon Linux 2023 : GraphicsMagick, GraphicsMagick-c++, GraphicsMagick-c++-devel (ALAS2023-2025-1201)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 266169

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1201 advisory.

ReadJXLImage in JXL in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.46 lacks image dimension resource limits.
(CVE-2025-27795)

ReadWPGImage in WPG in GraphicsMagick before 1.3.46 mishandles palette buffer allocation, resulting in out-of-bounds access to heap memory in ReadBlob. (CVE-2025-27796)

GraphicsMagick before 8e56520 has a heap-based buffer over-read in ReadJXLImage in coders/jxl.c, related to an ImportViewPixelArea call. (CVE-2025-32460)

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

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update GraphicsMagick --releasever 2023.9.20250929' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2025-1201 --releasever 2023.9.20250929' to update your system.
