Synopsis
The remote host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-48 or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-24. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- A missing check in the DCM decoder could result in an image with invalid dimensions that may trigger crashes during subsequent operations. (CVE-2026-49218)
- A missing check of a return value could lead to a heap buffer over-write in the MAT decoder on 32-bit systems.
(CVE-2026-48994)
- Incorrect filename parsing with symlinks allows attackers to bypass security policies and access restricted files.
(CVE-2026-49219)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to ImageMagick version 6.9.13-48 / 7.1.2-24 or later.See Also
