The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3363-1 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.

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

  - In ImageMagick 7.0.5-5, a memory leak was found in the function ReadPSDChannel in coders/psd.c, which     allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2017-9440)

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

This update for ImageMagick fixes the following issues :

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2017-9439: A memory leak was found in the function     ReadPDBImage incoders/pdb.c (bsc#1042826)

  - CVE-2017-9440: A memory leak was found in the function     ReadPSDChannelin coders/psd.c (bsc#1042812)

  - CVE-2017-11403: ReadMNGImage function in coders/png.c     has an out-of-order CloseBlob call, resulting in a     use-after-free via acrafted file (bsc#1049072)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

This updates fixes several vulnerabilities in imagemagick: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service, memory disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed RLE, SVG, PSD, PDB, DPX, MAT, TGA, VST, CIN, DIB, MPC, EPT, JNG, DJVU, JPEG, ICO, PALM or MNG files are processed.

The version of ImageMagick installed on the remote Windows host is 6.x prior to 6.9.8-10 or 7.x prior to 7.0.5-9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
