ImageMagick < 6.9.13-51 / 7.x < 7.1.2-26 Heap Buffer Over-Write

low Nessus Plugin ID 362650

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a heap buffer over-write vulnerability.

Description

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-51, or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-26. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a heap-based buffer over-write vulnerability that occurs when running an X11 import with a crafted window title, which can result in heap memory corruption and denial of service. (CVE-2026-61464)

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

Solution

Upgrade to ImageMagick version 6.9.13-51 / 7.1.2-26 or later.
