ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a crafted MSL script triggers a heap-use-after-free. The operation element handler replaces and frees the image while the parser continues reading from it, leading to a UAF in ReadBlobString during further parsing. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.

CVE-2026-25968 [MEDIUM] ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Title: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly decode certain SUN
image files. An attacker could use this issue to cause ImageMagick to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2026-25897)
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly validate pixel index
values when writing UIL and XPM image files. An attacker could use this issue
to cause ImageMagick to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-25898)

ImageMagick: ImageMagick: Denial of service via crafted MSL script
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a crafted MSL script triggers a heap-use-after-free. The operation element handler replaces and frees the image while the parser continues reading from it, leading to a UAF in ReadBlobString during further parsing. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. A remote attacker could exploit a heap-use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MSL script. This vulnerability occurs when the operation element handler replaces and frees an image while the parser continues to read from it. Successful exploitation could lead to a denia
