DescriptionCVE.org

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contains a heap use-after-free in the meta coder: when memory allocation fails, a single byte is written to a stale pointer. Remote attackers can trigger it by processing specially crafted image files, causing a denial of service.

AnalysisAI

Heap use-after-free in ImageMagick's meta coder allows remote attackers to crash the process by submitting a specially crafted image file that triggers a memory allocation failure, causing a single byte write to a stale (freed) pointer. Affected versions are ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, as well as Magick.NET NuGet wrapper packages before 14.10.3. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerability requires that the target system invokes ImageMagick's meta coder to process a specially crafted image file supplied by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.3 is supported by the vector AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker submits a specially crafted image file to a web application or service that passes uploaded images to ImageMagick for processing (e.g., thumbnail generation, format conversion). The crafted file is constructed to trigger a heap allocation failure inside the meta coder path, causing ImageMagick to write a single byte to a freed heap pointer. …
Remediation Upgrade ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-15 or later on the 7.x branch, or to 6.9.13-40 or later on the 6.x branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
