ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, a stack overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick's FX expression parser allows an attacker to crash the process by providing a deeply nested expression. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19.

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6240 advisory.

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in imagemagick, a     software suite used for editing and manipulating digital images, which     could lead to denial of service, information disclosure or potentially     arbitrary code execution if malformed images are processed.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

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

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions
    below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, a stack overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick's FX expression parser
    allows an attacker to crash the process by providing a deeply nested expression. This issue has been fixed
    in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-33902)

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-44 and 7.x prior to 7.1.2-19. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A heap buffer overflow occurs in the MVG decoder that could result in an out of bounds write when processing     a crafted image. (CVE-2026-33901)

  - Magick frees the memory of the XML tree via the `DestroyXMLTree()` function; however, this process is executed     recursively with no depth limit imposed. When Magick processes an XML file with deeply nested structures,     it will exhaust the stack memory, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. (CVE-2026-33908)

  - A heap out-of-bounds write in the JP2 encoder with when a user specifies an invalid sampling index.
    (CVE-2026-40310)

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 is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions     below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, a stack overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick's FX expression parser     allows an attacker to crash the process by providing a deeply nested expression. This issue has been fixed     in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-33902)
