ImageMagick 7.1.0-20 before 7.1.2-32 contains an invalid memory free vulnerability in the fx operation that occurs when initialization of an FX runtime entry fails. Attackers can trigger the failed FX runtime initialization to cause an invalid free, resulting in memory corruption and application crashes.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fc4d0a5b-d0c6-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b advisory.

    The ImageMagick project published security advisories for               issues fixed in releases 7.1.2-26 through 7.1.2-34.  They include               heap buffer overflows, use-after-free, out-of-bounds reads,               integer overflows, division by zero, memory leaks and security               policy bypasses in various coders and in the command-line               interface.  A crafted image file can crash the process, disclose               memory contents or circumvent the configured security policy.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD 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.

  - ImageMagick 7.1.0-20 before 7.1.2-32 contains an invalid memory free vulnerability in the fx operation     that occurs when initialization of an FX runtime entry fails. Attackers can trigger the failed FX runtime     initialization to cause an invalid free, resulting in memory corruption and application crashes.
    (CVE-2026-109258)

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

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - ImageMagick 7.1.0-20 before 7.1.2-32 contains an invalid memory free vulnerability in the fx operation
    that occurs when initialization of an FX runtime entry fails. Attackers can trigger the failed FX runtime
