2.9 LOW

Local-only vector and high complexity due to specific internal failure trigger required; no confidentiality or integrity impact, only low availability loss from a small unfreed allocation.

DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a memory leak in the hough lines operation: when a specific operation fails, a small memory leak occurs.

AnalysisAI

ImageMagick's hough lines operation leaks a small amount of memory when a specific internal sub-operation fails, affecting the 7.x branch before 7.1.2-26 and the 6.x legacy branch before 6.9.13-51. This CWE-401 flaw is locally exploitable only under high attack complexity with specific prerequisites, producing a low availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity consequence - reflected in the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain local access to ImageMagick host
Delivery
Craft image triggering hough lines failure condition
Exploit
Submit image to invoke vulnerable code path
Execution
Small heap allocation leaks per invocation
Persist
Repeat submissions to accumulate leaked memory
Impact
Degrade or exhaust process memory availability

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local access to the host running ImageMagick (AV:L per CVSS 4.0) and the ability to invoke the hough lines operation with a specifically crafted input that triggers an internal failure condition within that code path (AC:H, AT:P). … 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 characterises the minimal real-world risk: local attack vector, high complexity, and specific attack prerequisites (AT:P) mean this cannot be exploited remotely or trivially. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local user with access to an ImageMagick deployment submits a crafted image file designed to invoke the hough lines operation and trigger the specific internal failure condition, causing a small heap allocation to go unfreed. By scripting repeated submissions of such images, the attacker gradually accumulates leaked memory in the ImageMagick process, potentially degrading or crashing the service over an extended period. …
Remediation Upgrade ImageMagick 7.x installations to version 7.1.2-26 or later, and ImageMagick 6.x installations to version 6.9.13-51 or later, as confirmed by GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-j8rh-v2r8-v94x (https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-j8rh-v2r8-v94x). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
