ImageMagick < 6.9.13-50 / 7.x < 7.1.2-25 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 321442

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 6.9.13-50 or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-25. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

- A missing validation in AcquireAlignedMemory could cause memory exhaustion conditions. (CVE-2026-53460)

- An incorrect loop in the ICON decoder can result in an out-of-bounds heap write resulting in a crash.
(CVE-2026-53461)

- A memory corruption vulnerability exists that can be triggered by a crafted image file. (CVE-2026-53462)

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 6.9.13-50 / 7.1.2-25 or later.
