Title
ImageMagick has heap-buffer-overflow via signed integer overflow in `WriteUHDRImage` when writing UHDR images with large dimensions
Summary
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. `WriteUHDRImage` in `coders/uhdr.c` uses `int` arithmetic to compute the pixel buffer size. Prior to version 7.1.2-15, when image dimensions are large, the multiplication overflows 32-bit `int`, causing an undersized heap allocation followed by an out-of-bounds write. This can crash the process or potentially lead to an out of bounds heap write. Version 7.1.2-15 contains a patch.

When processing images with large dimensions, the `WriteUHDRImage` function in `coders/uhdr.c` uses integer arithmetic that can overflow. This overflow leads to an undersized memory allocation, followed by an out-of-bounds write. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted image, potentially causing a denial of service or, in some cases, arbitrary code execution.\"}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-190\", \"description\": \"Integer Overflow or Wraparound\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"0b0ca135-0b70-47e7-9f44-1890c2a1c46c\", \"shortName\": \"redhat-SADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-06-30T02:45:36.425Z\"}}, {\"title\": \"CISA ADP Vulnrichment\", \"metrics\": [{\"other\": {\"type\": \"ssvc\", \"content\": {\"id\": \"CVE-2026-25794\", \"role\": \"CISA Coordinator\", \"options\": [{\"Exploitation\": \"none\"}, {\"Automatable\": \"yes\"}, {\"Technical Impact\": \"partial\"}], \"version\": \"2.0.3\", \"timestamp\": \"2026-02-26T15:04:46.335773Z\"}}}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\", \"shortName\": \"CISA-ADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-02-26T15:05:21.115Z\"}}], \"cna\": {\"title\": \"ImageMagick has heap-buffer-overflow via signed integer overflow in `WriteUHDRImage` when writing UHDR images with large dimensions\", \"source\": {\"advisory\": \"GHSA-vhqj-f5cj-9x8h\", \"discovery\": \"UNKNOWN\"}, \"metrics\": [{\"cvssV3_1\": {\"scope\": \"UNCHANGED\", \"version\": \"3.1\", \"baseScore\": 8.2, \"attackVector\": \"NETWORK\", \"baseSeverity\": \"HIGH\", \"vectorString\": \"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H\", \"integrityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"userInteraction\": \"NONE\", \"attackComplexity\": \"LOW\", \"availabilityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"privilegesRequired\": \"NONE\", \"confidentialityImpact\": \"LOW\"}}], \"affected\": [{\"vendor\": \"ImageMagick\", \"product\": \"ImageMagick\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"\u003c 7.1.2-15\"}]}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-vhqj-f5cj-9x8h\", \"name\": \"https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/security/advisories/GHSA-vhqj-f5cj-9x8h\", \"tags\": [\"x_refsource_CONFIRM\"]}], \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. `WriteUHDRImage` in `coders/uhdr.c` uses `int` arithmetic to compute the pixel buffer size.
