medium Nessus Plugin ID 352373

Language:

Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 8.4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS8.4:CLSA-2026:1789467167 advisory.

 - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 fails to properly lower the memory budget when an operation inside OpenPixelCache fails. Repeated triggering of such failures can exhaust the process memory budget and result in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-86420)

 - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a memory leak in the MSL image decoder. A crafted MSL image triggers memory allocation without proper deallocation, allowing an attacker to exhaust memory and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-86421)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory CENTOS8.4:CLSA-2026:1789467167.
