 (CVE-2026-48734)

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, a missing check of a return value could lead to a heap buffer over-write in the MAT decoder on 32-bit systems. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24.
 (CVE-2026-48994)

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, a missing check in the DCM decoder could result in an image with invalid dimensions and that could cause crashes in other operation. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24. (CVE-2026-49218)

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, an incorrect parsing of the filename can result in a policy bypass and read files disallowed by a security policy using a symlink. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24. (CVE-2026-49219)

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, a missing check for maximum memory request in AcquireAlignedMemory could trigger an out-of-Memory condition. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25.
 (CVE-2026-53460)

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, an incorrect loop in the ICON decoder can result in an out of bounds heap write resulting in a crash. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25.
 (CVE-2026-53461)

 ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, when passing incorrect arguments in the distort operation a null pointer deference will occur. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25. (CVE-2026-53463)

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 ImageMagick --releasever 2023.12.20260622' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1861 --releasever 2023.12.20260622' to update your system.
