Package : imagemagick CVE ID : CVE-2026-25971 CVE-2026-33899 CVE-2026-33900 CVE-2026-33901 CVE-2026-33905 CVE-2026-33908 CVE-2026-34238 CVE-2026-40310 CVE-2026-40311

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 oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.6+deb12u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
