Multiple memory corruption vulnerbilities were discovered in imagemagick, a software suit used for editing and manipulating digital images, which could lead to information leak, denial of service, and potentially arbitrary code execution.

For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6+deb12u4.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
