CVE-2026-86421

Use ImageMagick to create, edit, compose, or convert bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety of formats (over 200) including PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP, Postscript, PDF, and SVG. Use ImageMagick to resize, flip, mirror, rotate, distort, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.

Security Fix(es):

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 fails to properly lower the memory budget when an operation inside OpenPixelCache fails. Repeated triggering of such failures can exhaust the process memory budget and result in a denial of service.(CVE-2026-86420)

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a memory leak in the MSL image decoder. A crafted MSL image triggers memory allocation without proper deallocation, allowing an attacker to exhaust memory and cause a denial of service.(CVE-2026-86421)

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.x before 6.9.13-55 contains a heap-use-after-free vulnerability in the GetList method of PerlMagick. A crafted call to the GetList method can trigger the use-after-free, resulting in a crash (denial of service).(CVE-2026-86423)

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) vulnerability in the video decoder that allows attackers to bypass path policy write restrictions via symlink swaps. An attacker can replace a symlink between policy validation (check-time) and the file write operation (use-time) to write to policy-denied locations.(CVE-2026-86424)

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.x before 6.9.13-55 contains a heap-use-after-free vulnerability in the Layer method of PerlMagick. An attacker who supplies a crafted list of images can trigger memory access after deallocation, resulting in a crash (denial of service).(CVE-2026-86425)

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-30 and 6.9.13-55 contains a memory leak in the MSL image decoder. A crafted MSL image triggers memory allocation without proper deallocation, allowing an attacker to exhaust memory and cause a denial of service.

  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-86421-1.patch: bound the group cleanup loop on msl_info->n in MSLEndElement() in coders/msl.c, so the added DestroyDrawInfo() cannot run past the base of the stack when a second <group> re-uses a stale numImages count
  • CVE-2026-86421

• SECURITY UPDATE: memory leak in the MSL group handler
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-86421.patch: destroy the per-level DrawInfo in the </group> unwind of MSLEndElement. The unwind released the image, the attributes and the image_info of every level it popped, but never the DrawInfo that MSLPushImage clones for that level, so each nested <group> element leaked one DrawInfo (coders/msl.c)
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-86421-1.patch: bound that unwind loop so a stale group_info numImages count cannot drive msl_info->n below zero. This version predates upstream 8867bada, so the loop had no bound and the DrawInfo destroy added above would otherwise widen the existing out-of-bounds free by one pointer (coders/msl.c)
  • debian/patches/CVE-2026-86421-2.patch: destroy the per-level DrawInfo in MSLPopImage() too. MSLPopImage handles the </image> pop outside a group and is disjoint from the </group> unwind patched above; this version predates upstream 08278c7c (first released in 6.9.10-0), so without it a crafted MSL document repeating <image>...</image> still leaks one DrawInfo per pop (coders/msl.c)
