DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-27 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the magick command-line interface when invalid options are provided. Attackers can trigger memory exhaustion by repeatedly supplying malformed command-line arguments to consume system resources.

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion in ImageMagick's magick CLI tool allows a local attacker to cause denial of service by repeatedly supplying malformed command-line arguments. Affects versions before 7.1.2-27. Vendor patch is available; no public exploit or active exploitation reported.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in ImageMagick's magick command-line interface, which is used for image processing operations. When the tool parses invalid options, a memory leak occurs because allocated memory is not properly freed after an error, as classified by CWE-401 (Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime). The affected product is identified by the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:imagemagick:imagemagick:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to ImageMagick 7.1.2-27 or later as per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-cvhv-g4rq-3hmw. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict local access to the magick CLI to trusted users only, because the attack requires execution of the tool with user-supplied arguments.
