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

  - In the CropImage() and CropImageToTiles() routines of MagickCore/transform.c, rounding calculations
    performed on unconstrained pixel offsets was causing undefined behavior in the form of integer overflow
    and out-of-range values as reported by UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer. Such issues could cause a negative
    impact to application availability or other problems related to undefined behavior, in cases where
    ImageMagick processes untrusted input data. The upstream patch introduces functionality to constrain the
    pixel offsets and prevent these issues. This flaw affects ImageMagick versions prior to 7.0.9-0.
    (CVE-2020-25675)
