  - ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 and GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 use uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder,
    allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space, as demonstrated by remote
    attacks against ImageMagick code in a long-running server process that converts image data on behalf of
    multiple users. This is caused by a missing initialization step in the ReadRLEImage function in
    coders/rle.c. (CVE-2017-9098)

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