ImageMagick before 7.1.2-27 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the magick command-line interface when invalid options are provided. Attackers can trigger memory exhaustion by repeatedly supplying malformed command-line arguments to consume system resources.

The remote host has a version of ImageMagick installed that is 7.x prior to 7.1.2-27. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-27 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the magick command-line interface when     invalid options are provided. Attackers can trigger memory exhaustion by repeatedly supplying malformed     command-line arguments to consume system resources. (CVE-2026-66011)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3414-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-62343: heap buffer overwrite in morphology operation when an invalid kernel is provided     (bsc#1272575).
    - CVE-2026-62363: heap buffer overwrite in fx operation when processing a crafted argument (bsc#1272582).
    - CVE-2026-62946: integer overflow in JNX decoder can lead to heap buffer overwrite when processing     extremely large       files on 32-bit builds (bsc#1272580).
    - CVE-2026-66011: memory leak in the magick command-line interface when invalid options are provided     (bsc#1272577).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 before 7.1.2-27 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the magick command-line interface when     invalid options are provided. Attackers can trigger memory exhaustion by repeatedly supplying malformed     command-line arguments to consume system resources. (CVE-2026-66011)

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