ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-15, a memory leak in the ASHLAR image writer allows an attacker to exhaust process memory by providing a crafted image that results in small objects that are allocated but never freed. Version 7.1.2-15 contains a patch.

CVE-2026-25898 [MEDIUM] ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Title: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain malformed
image files in certain instances. If a user or automated system using
ImageMagick were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an
attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute code. These issues only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

ImageMagick: ImageMagick: Denial of Service via crafted image due to memory leak
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-15, a memory leak in the ASHLAR image writer allows an attacker to exhaust process memory by providing a crafted image that results in small objects that are allocated but never freed. Version 7.1.2-15 contains a patch.
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A remote attacker can exploit a memory leak in the ASHLAR image writer by providing a specially crafted image. This vulnerability causes small objects to be allocated but never freed, leading to the exhaustion of process memory and a Denial of Service (DoS).
Statement: The impact of this flaw is MODERATE. A memory leak in the ASHLAR image writ
