DescriptionGitHub Advisory

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Versions 14.10.1 and below have a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the MSL (Magick Scripting Language) parser when processing <comment> tags before images are loaded. This can lead to DoS attack due to assertion failure (debug builds) or NULL pointer dereference (release builds). This issue is fixed in version 14.10.2.

AnalysisAI

ImageMagick and Magick.NET versions 14.10.1 and below are vulnerable to denial of service attacks through a null pointer dereference in the MSL parser when processing malformed comment tags, exploitable by authenticated attackers without user interaction. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and affected systems may crash or experience assertion failures depending on build configuration. No patch is currently available to address this medium-severity issue.
