therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

  - ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a heap-based buffer over-write vulnerability that occurs
    when running an X11 import with a crafted window title, which can result in heap memory corruption and
    denial of service. (CVE-2026-61464)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
