Important: ImageMagick security update (Amazon Linux 2023)

Published Apr 27, 2026 · Updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-56370: ImageMagick before 7.1.2-19 contains an out-of-bounds access vulnerability in ConnectedComponentsImage() when processing connected-components artifacts with invalid indices. Attackers can trigger access violations by specifying malformed connected-components definitions via CLI, causing denial of service or potential code execution. CVE-2026-40311: ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Versions below 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44 contain a heap use-after-free vulnerability that can cause a crash when reading and printing values from an invalid XMP profile. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. CVE-2026-40310: ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Versions below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, contain a heap out-of-bounds write in the JP2 encoder with when a user specifies an invalid sampling index. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. CVE-2026-40169: ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions below 7.1.2-19, a crafted image could result in an out of bounds heap write when writing a yaml or json output, resulting in a crash. This issue has been fixed in version 7.1.2-19. CVE-2026-33908: ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, Magick frees the memory of the XML tree via the `DestroyXMLTree()` function; however, this process is executed recursively with no depth limit imposed. When Magick processes an XML file with deeply nested structures, it will exhaust the stack memory, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. CVE-2026-33905: ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, the -sample operation has an out of bounds read when an specific offset is set through the `sample:offset` define that could lead to an out of bounds read. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. CVE-2026-33899: ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions below 7.1.2-189 and 6.9.13-44, when `Magick` parses an XML file it is possible that a single zero byte is written out of the bounds. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19.
