ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The BilateralBlurImage method will allocate a set of double buffers inside AcquireBilateralTLS. But, in versions prior to 7.1.2-13, the last element in the set is not properly initialized. This will result in a release of an invalid pointer inside DestroyBilateralTLS when the memory allocation fails. Version 7.1.2-13 contains a patch for the issue.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0438-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-22770: improper pointer initialization can cause denial of service (bsc#1256969).
    - CVE-2026-23874: manipulation of digital images can lead to stack overflow (bsc#1256976).
    - CVE-2026-23876: maliciously crafted image can lead to heap buffer overflow (bsc#1256962).
    - CVE-2026-23952: processing comment tag can cause null pointer dereference (bsc#1257076).

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

    This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Imagemagick, which could     result in denial of service via MSL scripts or potentially the execution     of arbitrary code if malformed XBM images are processed.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6+deb12u6.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

    For the detailed security status of imagemagick please refer to     its security tracker page at:
