ImageMagick < 7.1.2-8 DoS (GHSA-wpp4-vqfq-v4hp)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 272038

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to prior to 7.1.2-8. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerability as referenced in GHSA-wpp4-vqfq-v4hp advisory.

 - ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-8 are vulnerable to denial-of-service due to unsigned integer underflow and division-by-zero in the CLAHEImage function. When tile width or height is zero, unsigned underflow occurs in pointer arithmetic, leading to out-of-bounds memory access, and division-by-zero causes immediate crashes. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.2-8. (CVE-2025-62594)

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

Solution

Upgrade to ImageMagick version 7.1.2-8 or later.
