DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25, a missing check for maximum memory request in AcquireAlignedMemory could trigger an out-of-Memory condition. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in ImageMagick prior to 6.9.13-50 and 7.1.2-25 allows remote attackers to trigger an out-of-memory condition by submitting crafted images that bypass memory request validation in the AcquireAlignedMemory routine. The CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) vector reflects unauthenticated network exploitability with high availability impact but no confidentiality or integrity loss. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not present on the CISA KEV list.

Technical ContextAI

ImageMagick is a widely deployed open-source image processing suite used directly and via library bindings (Magick++, MagickWand, PerlMagick, PHP IMagick, etc.) in web applications, CMS platforms, and back-end image pipelines. The root cause maps to CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling): the AcquireAlignedMemory helper - used internally to obtain page-aligned buffers for pixel cache and image data - did not validate the requested allocation size against the configured MagickResourceLimit for memory. As a result, image headers or operations that declare very large dimensions or channel counts can drive the allocator to request more memory than the host can satisfy, producing an OOM abort of the ImageMagick process.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to ImageMagick 6.9.13-50 or 7.1.2-25 (or later) per GHSA-q62c-h75r-2xhc (https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-q62c-h75r-2xhc); downstream distribution packages should be tracked and updated as backports become available. Until patched, harden policy.xml by setting explicit resource limits such as memory, map, width, height, area, and disk to values appropriate for the host (for example memory=256MiB, width=8KP, height=8KP), which will cause oversized requests to fail safely rather than triggering OOM - the trade-off is that legitimate very-large images will also be rejected. For internet-facing upload paths, add pre-validation of image dimensions and file size before invoking ImageMagick, and isolate the converter in a resource-capped container or systemd unit with MemoryMax so an OOM kills only the worker, not the host.
