Prior to version 7.1.1-14, ImageMagick crashes when processing a crafted TIFF file. Version 7.1.1-14 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-68469)
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-12, using Magick to read a malicious SVG file resulted in a DoS attack. Version 7.1.2-12 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-68618)
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-12, Magick fails to check for circular references between two MVGs, leading to a stack overflow. This is a DoS vulnerability, and any situation that allows reading the mvg file will be affected. Version 7.1.2-12 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-68950)
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-12, in the WriteSVGImage function, using an int variable to store number_attributes caused an integer overflow. This, in turn, triggered a buffer overflow and caused a DoS attack. Version 7.1.2-12 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-69204)
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.
