Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in ImageMagick up to 7.1.2-15. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part of the component UHDR Encoder. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-16, a heap-based buffer overflow in the UHDR encoder can happen due to truncation of a value and it would allow an out of bounds write. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16.

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-30931 since 03/07/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 303080 (Debian dsa-6169 : imagemagick - security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
