    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+deb13u10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

    For the detailed security status of imagemagick please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/imagemagick

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

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick 7.x installed that is prior to 7.1.2-24. It is, therefore, affected by a heap buffer over-write vulnerability:

  - When using an image with mask the Floyd-Steinberg dithering method will cause a negative heap buffer over-write.
    (CVE-2026-48724)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 7.1.2-24, when using an image with mask the Floyd-Steinberg dithering method it will cause a     negative heap buffer over-write. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.2-24. (CVE-2026-48724)

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