ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the FormatMagickCaption method when memory allocation fails. Attackers can trigger memory allocation failures to cause a dangling pointer to reference freed memory, potentially enabling denial of service or code execution.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-099474 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 before 7.1.2-26 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the FormatMagickCaption method when     memory allocation fails. Attackers can trigger memory allocation failures to cause a dangling pointer to     reference freed memory, potentially enabling denial of service or code execution. (CVE-2026-61861)

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