Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in imagemagick, a software suite used for editing and manipulating digital images, which could lead to denial of service, information disclosure or potentially arbitrary code execution if malformed images are processed.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 8:7.1.1.43+dfsg1-1+deb13u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
