Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25638)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, in `ReadSFWImage()` (`coders/sfw.c`), when temporary file creation fails,     `read_info` is destroyed before its `filename` member is accessed, causing a NULL pointer dereference and     crash. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25795)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, in `ReadSTEGANOImage()` (`coders/stegano.c`), the `watermark` Image     object is not freed on three early-return paths, resulting in a definite memory leak (~13.5KB+ per     invocation) that can be exploited for denial of service. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
    (CVE-2026-25796)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, the ps coders, responsible for writing PostScript files, fails to     sanitize the input before writing it into the PostScript header.  An attacker can provide a malicous file     and inject arbitrary PostScript code. When the resulting file is processed by a printer or a viewer (like     Ghostscript), the injected code is interpreted and executed. The html encoder does not properly escape     strings that are written to in the html document. An attacker can provide a malicious file and injection     arbitrary html code. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25797)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a NULL pointer dereference in ClonePixelCacheRepository allows a remote     attacker to crash any application linked against ImageMagick by supplying a crafted image file, resulting     in denial of service. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25798)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a logic error in YUV sampling factor validation allows an invalid     sampling factor to bypass checks and trigger a division-by-zero during image loading, resulting in a     reliable denial-of-service. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25799)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, the UIL and XPM image encoder do not validate the pixel index value     returned by `GetPixelIndex()` before using it as an array subscript. In HDRI builds, `Quantum` is a     floating-point type, so pixel index values can be negative. An attacker can craft an image with negative     pixel index values to trigger a global buffer overflow read during conversion, leading to information     disclosure or a process crash. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25898)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, ImageMagick's path security policy is enforced on the raw filename string     before the filesystem resolves it. As a result, a policy rule such as /etc/* can be bypassed by a path     traversal. The OS resolves the traversal and opens the sensitive file, but the policy matcher only sees     the unnormalized path and therefore allows the read. This enables local file disclosure (LFI) even when     policy-secure.xml is applied. Actions to prevent reading from files have been taken in versions .7.1.2-15     and 6.9.13-40 But it make sure writing is also not possible the following should be added to one's policy.
    This will also be included in ImageMagick's more secure policies by default. (CVE-2026-25965)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. The shipped     secure security policy includes a rule intended to prevent reading/writing from standard streams.
    However, ImageMagick also supports fd:<n> pseudo-filenames (e.g., fd:0, fd:1). Prior to versions 7.1.2-15     and 6.9.13-40, this path form is not blocked by the secure policy templates, and therefore bypasses the     protection goal of no stdin/stdout. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch by including a     change to the more secure policies by default. As a workaround, add the change to one's security policy     manually. (CVE-2026-25966)

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in imagemagick, a     software suite used for editing and manipulating digital images, which     could lead to symlink races, information leaks, denial of service and     potentially arbitrary code execution.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u7.

    We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

An update of the ImageMagick package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, a stack buffer overflow exists in ImageMagick's morphology kernel parsing     functions. User-controlled kernel strings exceeding a buffer are copied into fixed-size stack buffers via     memcpy without bounds checking, resulting in stack corruption. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16 and     6.9.13-41. (CVE-2026-28494)

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