Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in imagemagick, a software suite used for editing and manipulating digital images, which could lead to information leaks, bypass of security policies, denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6+deb12u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
