Security Fix(es): * ImageMagick: ImageMagick: Out-of-bounds read or write due to integer overflow in DIB coder (CVE-2026-28693) * ImageMagick: ImageMagick: Denial of Service via uninitialized pointer dereference in JBIG decoder (CVE-2026-28691) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
ImageMagick versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support contain two vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-28693, an out-of-bounds read or write due to integer overflow in the DIB coder, and CVE-2026-28691, a denial of service vulnerability caused by uninitialized pointer dereference in the JBIG decoder. These issues could lead to memory corruption or service disruption. Red Hat has released updated packages to remediate these vulnerabilities as detailed in advisory RHSA-2026:6713.
Potential Impact
The integer overflow in the DIB coder may allow out-of-bounds memory access, potentially leading to memory corruption. The uninitialized pointer dereference in the JBIG decoder can cause denial of service by crashing the application. Both vulnerabilities affect the stability and security of systems processing maliciously crafted image files with ImageMagick.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released security updates for ImageMagick in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support to address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the updates provided in advisory RHSA-2026:6713 following Red Hat's official guidance at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified. Patch status is confirmed as fixed in the updated packages.
