ImageMagick < 6.9.13-40 / 7.x < 7.1.2-15 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 322795

Language:

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 6.9.13-40 or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contains a memory leak in coders/txt.c when processing TXT files with texture attributes: the texture object allocated via ReadImage is not released when GetTypeMetrics fails, leaking memory each time a crafted TXT file with a texture attribute is processed. (CVE-2026-56371)

 - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contains a command injection vulnerability in the SVG decoder that allows attackers to inject arbitrary MVG drawing commands. Attackers can craft malicious SVG files with injected Magick Vector Graphics commands that execute during rendering.
 (CVE-2026-56379)

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 6.9.13-40 / 7.1.2-15 or later.
