ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, when an allocation fails in CheckPrimitiveExtent this can result in a heap-use-after-free and result in a crash. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25.

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. Prior to

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-49 and 7.1.2-24, a crafted MVG file could result in a stack overflow due to a missing     depth or visited-set check. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-49 and 7.1.2-24.
    (CVE-2026-48734)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, a missing check of a return value could lead to a heap buffer over-write     in the MAT decoder on 32-bit systems. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24.
    (CVE-2026-48994)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24, a missing check in the DCM decoder could result in an image with invalid     dimensions and that could cause crashes in other operation. This issue has been patched in versions     6.9.13-48 and 7.1.2-24. (CVE-2026-49218)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, a missing check for maximum memory request in AcquireAlignedMemory could     trigger an out-of-Memory condition. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25.
    (CVE-2026-53460)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, when an allocation fails in CheckPrimitiveExtent this can result in a     heap-use-after-free and result in a crash. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25.
    (CVE-2026-53462)

    ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to     versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, when passing incorrect arguments in the distort operation a null pointer     deference will occur. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25. (CVE-2026-53463)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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 remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is prior to 6.9.13-50 or 7.x prior to 7.1.2-25. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - A missing validation in AcquireAlignedMemory could cause memory exhaustion conditions. (CVE-2026-53460)

  - An incorrect loop in the ICON decoder can result in an out-of-bounds heap write resulting in a crash.
    (CVE-2026-53461)

  - A memory corruption vulnerability exists that can be triggered by a crafted image file. (CVE-2026-53462)

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.
