Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick up to 6.9.13-26/7.1.2-0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a reliance on undefined, unspecified, or implementation-defined behavior vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-758. The product uses an API function, data structure, or other entity in a way that relies on properties that are not always guaranteed to hold for that entity. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-27 and 7.1.2-1, there is undefined behavior (function-type-mismatch) in splay tree cloning callback. This results in a deterministic abort under UBSan (DoS in sanitizer builds), with no crash in a non-sanitized build. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-27 and 7.1.2-1.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-55160 since 08/07/2025. The exploitability is told to be easy.
