CVE-2026-28691 [HIGH] ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Title: ImageMagick vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in ImageMagick.
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain images
when using the wavelet-denoise operator. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to trigger a heap buffer over-read, resulting in information
disclosure. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-27798)
It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled certain DJVU
images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to trigger a heap
buffer over-read, resulting in information disclosure. (CVE-2026-27799)

CVE-2026-28690 [MEDIUM] CWE-121 ImageMagick: stack-based buffer overflow in MNG encoder
ImageMagick: stack-based buffer overflow in MNG encoder
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41, a stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the MNG encoder. There is a bounds checks missing that could corrupting the stack with attacker-controlled data. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16 and 6.9.13-41.
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. Processing a specially crafted image with the MNG encoder can cause a stack-based buffer overflow due to a missing bounds check, leading to a denial of service and potentially arbitrary code execution.
Statement: To exploit this issue, an attacker needs to convince a user to process a specially crafted file that makes ImageMagick use the MNG encoder.
