The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote Windows host is 6.x prior to 6.9.7-8 or 7.x prior to 7.0.4-8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     ReadPSDChannel() function in coders/psd.c due to     improper handling of PSD files. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user     to open a specially crafted PSD file, to cause a denial     of service condition. (CVE-2017-6497)

  - A flaw exists in Magick++/lib/Exception.cpp due to     improper handling of nested exceptions. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause the application to consume excessive resources,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2017-6499)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     ReadXCFImage() function in coders/xcf.c due to improper     handling of XCF files. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to open     a specially crafted XCF file, to cause a denial of     service condition. (CVE-2017-6501)

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed TGA, Sun or PSD files are processed.

This update also fixes visual artefacts when running -sharpen on CMYK images (no security impact, but piggybacked on top of the security update with approval of the Debian stable release managers since it's a regression in jessie compared to wheezy).

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3232-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or     automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could     exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user     invoking the program.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Please reference CVE/URL list for details

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in Magick++ in ImageMagick 6.9.7. A specially crafted file creating a nested     exception could lead to a memory leak (thus, a DoS). (CVE-2017-6499)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
