Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in ImageMagick up to 6.9.13-57/7.1.2-32. Affected is an unknown function of the component MVG Decoder. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

ImageMagick before 6.9.13-58 and 7.x before 7.1.2-33 contains uncontrolled recursion in the MVG decoder that can lead to a stack overflow. Attackers can supply a crafted MVG file that, when read with specific arguments, exhausts the stack and crashes the process, causing a denial of service.

The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-116144 since 10/25/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

Upgrading to version 6.9.13-58 or 7.1.2-33 eliminates this vulnerability.
