    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.

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

The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote host is prior to 6.9.10.97-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3278 advisory.

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     7.1.2-18 and 6.9.13-43, an out-of-bounds write of a zero byte exists in the X11 `display` interaction path     that could lead to a crash. Versions 7.1.2-18 and 6.9.13-43 patch the issue. (CVE-2026-33535)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     7.1.2-18 and 6.9.13-43, due to an incorrect return value on certain platforms a pointer is incremented     past the end of a buffer that is on the stack and that could result in an out of bounds write. Versions     7.1.2-18 and 6.9.13-43 patch the issue. (CVE-2026-33536)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions     below 7.1.2-189 and 6.9.13-44, when `Magick` parses an XML file it is possible that a single zero byte is     written out of the bounds. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-33899)

    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, the -sample operation has an out of bounds read when an specific offset     is set through the `sample:offset` define that could lead to an out of bounds read. This issue has been     fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-33905)

    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, 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. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-33908)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions     below 7.1.2-19, a crafted image could result in an out of bounds heap write when writing a yaml or json     output, resulting in a crash. This issue has been fixed in version 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-40169)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Versions     below both 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44, contain a heap out-of-bounds write in the JP2 encoder with when a user     specifies an invalid sampling index. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44 and 7.1.2-19.
    (CVE-2026-40310)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Versions     below 7.1.2-19 and 6.9.13-44 contain a heap use-after-free vulnerability that can cause a crash when     reading and printing values from an invalid XMP profile. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-44     and 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-40311)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. In versions     below 7.1.2-19, an off by one error in the MSL decoder could result in a crash when a malicous MSL file is     read. This issue has been fixed in version 7.1.2-19. (CVE-2026-40312)
