Doc Text:
A flaw was found in ImageMagick. An attacker could exploit this issue by providing a specially crafted MAT image file that triggers an error-handling path where allocated memory is not properly released. Over time, repeated processing of these files can cause memory exhaustion, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-25 13:35:35 UTC
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-33 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the MAT decoder that fails to release allocated memory in a specific error path. Attackers can supply crafted MAT files that trigger this error path repeatedly, causing small memory leaks that gradually consume process memory.
