A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a software suite for editing and manipulating digital images. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted image containing an invalid `<map>` element to the Magick Scripting Language (MSL) interpreter. This flaw causes a use-after-free, leading to an application crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-24 03:01:38 UTC
ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, the MSL interpreter crashes when processing a invalid `<map>` element that causes it to use an image after it has been freed. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
