ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-23, due to a missing depth check a stack overflow can occur in the fx operation by passing a crafted argument. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.2-23.

An update of the ImageMagick package has been released.

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6298 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+deb13u9.

    We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian 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 is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     version 7.1.2-23, due to a missing depth check a stack overflow can occur in the fx operation by passing a     crafted argument. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.2-23. (CVE-2026-46557)

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

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-48 or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-23. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A crafted MSL image can trigger a heap-use-after-free in the MSL decoder. (CVE-2026-46523)

  - Due to a missing depth check, a stack overflow can occur in the fx operation by passing a crafted argument.
    (CVE-2026-46557)

  - An incorrect check in the JP2 encoder will result in a heap buffer over-write of a single byte when specifying     certain options. (CVE-2026-46559)

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