"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to
7.1.2-9 and 6.9.13-34, there is a vulnerability in ImageMagick's Magick++ layer that manifests when
Options::fontFamily is invoked with an empty string. Clearing a font family calls RelinquishMagickMemory
on _drawInfo->font, freeing the font string but leaving _drawInfo->font pointing to freed memory while
_drawInfo->family is set to that (now-invalid) pointer. Any later cleanup or reuse of _drawInfo->font re-
frees or dereferences dangling memory. DestroyDrawInfo and other setters (Options::font, Image::font)
assume _drawInfo->font remains valid, so destruction or subsequent updates trigger crashes or heap
corruption. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-9 and 6.9.13-34. (CVE-2025-65955)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
