Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in ImageMagick up to 6.9.13-27/7.1.2-1. This vulnerability affects the function GetGeometry. The manipulation of the argument width/height with an unknown input leads to a divide by zero vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-369. The product divides a value by zero. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-28 and 7.1.2-2, passing a geometry string containing only a colon (":") to montage -geometry leads GetGeometry() to set width/height to 0. Later, ThumbnailImage() divides by these zero dimensions, triggering a crash (SIGFPE/abort), resulting in a denial of service. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-28 and 7.1.2-2.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2025-55212 since 08/08/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely.
