Amazon Linux 2 : GraphicsMagick, --advisory ALAS2GRAPHICSMAGICK1.3-2026-005 (ALASGRAPHICSMAGICK1.3-2026-005)

high Nessus Plugin ID 328463

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of GraphicsMagick installed on the remote host is prior to 1.3.45-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2GRAPHICSMAGICK1.3-2026-005 advisory.

 A flaw was found in GraphicsMagick's Photo CD (PCD) decoder. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted PCD file. This could lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory and potentially causing a denial of service or other unpredictable system behavior.
 (CVE-2026-13606)

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 'yum update GraphicsMagick' or or 'yum update --advisory ALAS2GRAPHICSMAGICK1.3-2026-005' to update your system.
