"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- There are several memory leaks in the MIFF coder in /coders/miff.c due to improper image depth values,
which can be triggered by a specially crafted input file. These leaks could potentially lead to an impact
to application availability or cause a denial of service. It was originally reported that the issues were
in `AcquireMagickMemory()` because that is where LeakSanitizer detected the leaks, but the patch resolves
issues in the MIFF coder, which incorrectly handles data being passed to `AcquireMagickMemory()`. This
flaw affects ImageMagick versions prior to 7.0.9-0. (CVE-2020-27753)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
