2.9 LOW

Local vector and high complexity required to trigger temp-file failure; no confidentiality or integrity impact, only minor availability from accumulated memory leak.

DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 (and 6.x before 6.9.13-51) contains a memory leak in the TIFF encoder that occurs when a temporary file cannot be created, resulting in a small memory leak.

AnalysisAI

ImageMagick's TIFF encoder leaks a small quantity of memory when a temporary file cannot be created during encoding operations, affecting versions 7.x before 7.1.2-26 and 6.x before 6.9.13-51. The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 and vector (AV:L/AC:H/AT:P) place this firmly in minimal-severity territory: exploitation is local, requires high complexity, and depends on a platform-specific precondition. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Establish local access or workload
Delivery
Submit TIFF encoding under constrained temp filesystem
Exploit
Trigger temp-file creation failure in encoder
Execution
Error path exits without freeing memory
Persist
Repeat invocations accumulate small leak
Impact
Minor process availability degradation

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The memory leak occurs exclusively in the TIFF encoder's error-handling path and is triggered only when temporary file creation fails during encoding - requiring a local condition such as a full filesystem, an exhausted inode table, or a write-restricted temporary directory. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 with vector AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately characterizes the risk as minimal. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local user or automated process repeatedly submits TIFF encoding operations to an ImageMagick instance running in an environment where the temporary directory is full or write-restricted. Each failed temp-file creation leaks a small amount of memory; over many iterations, the accumulated leak could marginally degrade the process's memory footprint. …
Remediation Upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-26 or later on the 7.x branch, or to 6.9.13-51 or later on the 6.x branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
