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

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
