CentOS7 - updating ImageMagick

Post by mwUCI » 2024/01/12 17:04:28

Hello - I am looking to update ImageMagick on my CentOS7 systems to address CVE-2021-40211. This was encompassed in RHSA-2023:5461 (https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:5461). The newer package, ImageMagick-6.9.10.68-7.el7_9.x86_64, was released back in October but doesn't appear to be available in the CentOS7 updates repo (http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/updat ... /Packages/).

Am I missing something obvious here or is the package just not available? It seems unusual for a RHEL package to be unavailable on CentOS 3 months later. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for the report, I have pinged the maintainer as it appears this update was missed.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
