An update of the ImageMagick package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5736-2 advisory.

    USN-5736-1 fixed vulnerabilities in ImageMagick. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu     20.04 ESM and Ubuntu 22.04 ESM. One of the issues, CVE-2021-20224, only affected Ubuntu 20.04 ESM, while     CVE-2021-20245, CVE-2021-3574, CVE-2021-4219 and CVE-2022-1114 only affected Ubuntu 22.04 ESM.



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

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in ImageMagick. The vulnerability occurs due to improper use of open functions and leads     to a denial of service. This flaw allows an attacker to crash the system. (CVE-2021-4219)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202405-02 (ImageMagick: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - A flaw was found in ImageMagick. The vulnerability occurs due to improper use of open functions and leads     to a denial of service. This flaw allows an attacker to crash the system. (CVE-2021-4219)

  - An integer overflow issue was discovered in ImageMagick's ExportIndexQuantum() function in     MagickCore/quantum-export.c. Function calls to GetPixelIndex() could result in values outside the range of     representable for the 'unsigned char'. When ImageMagick processes a crafted pdf file, this could lead to     an undefined behaviour or a crash. (CVE-2021-20224)

  - A heap-based-buffer-over-read flaw was found in ImageMagick's GetPixelAlpha() function of 'pixel-     accessor.h'. This vulnerability is triggered when an attacker passes a specially crafted Tagged Image File     Format (TIFF) image to convert it into a PICON file format. This issue can potentially lead to a denial of     service and information disclosure. (CVE-2022-0284)

  - A heap-buffer-overflow flaw was found in ImageMagick's PushShortPixel() function of quantum-private.h     file. This vulnerability is triggered when an attacker passes a specially crafted TIFF image file to     ImageMagick for conversion, potentially leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1115)

  - In ImageMagick, a crafted file could trigger an assertion failure when a call to WriteImages was made in     MagickWand/operation.c, due to a NULL image list. This could potentially cause a denial of service. This     was fixed in upstream ImageMagick version 7.1.0-30. (CVE-2022-2719)

  - A heap buffer overflow issue was found in ImageMagick. When an application processes a malformed TIFF     file, it could lead to undefined behavior or a crash causing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-3213)

  - ImageMagick 7.1.0-27 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. (CVE-2022-28463)

  - A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick, causing an outside the range of representable values of type     'unsigned char' at coders/psd.c, when crafted or untrusted input is processed. This leads to a negative     impact to application availability or other problems related to undefined behavior. (CVE-2022-32545)

  - A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick, causing an outside the range of representable values of type     'unsigned long' at coders/pcl.c, when crafted or untrusted input is processed. This leads to a negative     impact to application availability or other problems related to undefined behavior. (CVE-2022-32546)

  - In ImageMagick, there is load of misaligned address for type 'double', which requires 8 byte alignment and     for type 'float', which requires 4 byte alignment at MagickCore/property.c. Whenever crafted or untrusted     input is processed by ImageMagick, this causes a negative impact to application availability or other     problems related to undefined behavior. (CVE-2022-32547)

  - ImageMagick 7.1.0-49 is vulnerable to Denial of Service. When it parses a PNG image (e.g., for resize),     the convert process could be left waiting for stdin input. (CVE-2022-44267)

  - ImageMagick 7.1.0-49 is vulnerable to Information Disclosure. When it parses a PNG image (e.g., for     resize), the resulting image could have embedded the content of an arbitrary. file (if the magick binary     has permissions to read it). (CVE-2022-44268)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in ImageMagick's ImportMultiSpectralQuantum() function     in MagickCore/quantum-import.c. An attacker could pass specially crafted file to convert, triggering an     out-of-bounds read error, allowing an application to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-1906)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the ImageMagick package that can lead to the     application crashing. (CVE-2023-2157)

  - A heap use-after-free flaw was found in coders/bmp.c in ImageMagick. (CVE-2023-5341)

  - A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick. This security flaw ouccers as an undefined behaviors of casting     double to size_t in svg, mvg and other coders (recurring bugs of CVE-2022-32546). (CVE-2023-34151)

  - A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick. This security flaw causes a shell command injection     vulnerability via video:vsync or video:pixel-format options in VIDEO encoding/decoding. (CVE-2023-34153)

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