Amazon Linux 2023 : ImageMagick, ImageMagick-c++, ImageMagick-c++-devel (ALAS2023-2026-1914)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 327386

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1914 advisory.

 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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update ImageMagick --releasever 2023.12.20260706' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1914 --releasever 2023.12.20260706' to update your system.
