ImageMagick 7.1.2-25 SF3 Encoder Heap Buffer Overwrite in Prior Versions
CVE-2026-53465 Published on June 10, 2026
ImageMagick: Heap Buffer Over-Write in SF3 encoder when writing multi-frame image
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to version 7.1.2-25, a crafted multi-frame can result in a heap buffer over-write when encoding it with the SF3 encoder. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.2-25.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2026-53465 can be exploited with local system access, and does not require authorization privileges or user interaction. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality and integrity, and a high impact on availability.
Weakness Types
Heap-based Buffer Overflow
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().
What is a Memory Corruption Vulnerability?
The software writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can result in corruption of data, a crash, or code execution. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent write operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
CVE-2026-53465 has been classified to as a Memory Corruption vulnerability or weakness.
