Description
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-51 and 7.1.2-26, a heap buffer overflow occurs in the MVG decoder that could result in an out of bounds write when processing a crafted image. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.9.13-51 and 7.1.2-26.

AI Analysis

Impact

A heap buffer overflow exists in the MVG decoder of ImageMagick before version 6.9.13‑51 and 7.1.2‑26. When a crafted MVG file is processed, the decoder writes beyond the end of a heap buffer, potentially corrupting adjacent memory. The CVE description notes that this out‑of‑bounds write could lead to memory corruption but does not state that it escalates to remote code execution, denial of service, or other concrete operational impacts.

Affected Systems

All systems that run ImageMagick and process MVG images are affected, including command‑line utilities, shared libraries, and applications embedding ImageMagick. Versions earlier than 6.9.13‑51 and 7.1.2‑26 are vulnerable; later releases are fixed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.9 indicates moderate severity, and an EPSS score of < 1 % suggests that exploitation is rare. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, a maliciously crafted MVG file could cause an out‑of‑bounds write if provided to a vulnerable component; the exact attack vector (local or remote) is not explicitly stated and is therefore inferred.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to ImageMagick 6.9.13‑51 or newer, or 7.1.2‑26 or newer, which contains the fix for the MVG decoder bug.
  • If the MVG image format is not required for your workflows, disable or restrict its usage to prevent processing of potentially malicious files.
  • Run image processing in an isolated or sandboxed environment to contain any potential memory corruption arising from untrusted image inputs.
