USN-7053-1: ImageMagick vulnerabilities

Published Oct 3, 2024
·
Updated

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed image files. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or potentially leak sensitive information. These vulnerabilities included heap and stack-based buffer overflows, memory leaks, and improper handling of uninitialized values.
