Description

WriteUHDRImage in coders/uhdr.c uses int arithmetic to compute the pixel buffer size. 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.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU to 14.10.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25794 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Stop feeding it untrusted input: reject or quarantine files and payloads from unverified sources until you can upgrade, restrict accepted formats to the ones you actually need, and run the parsing or decoding step in a least-privileged sandbox or short-lived worker so a crash or corrupted read cannot reach the rest of the process.

Fixing This On Your OS

If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.

Red HatImportant

This IMPORTANT heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick's `WriteUHDRImage` function can lead to a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution when processing specially crafted UHDR images with excessively large dimensions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS are affected by this flaw, which…

Workaround published by Red Hat
To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid processing untrusted or maliciously crafted UHDR image files with ImageMagick. Limiting the exposure of ImageMagick to untrusted input can reduce the risk of exploitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

`WriteUHDRImage` in `coders/uhdr.c` uses `int` arithmetic to compute the pixel buffer size. 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. ``` ==1575126==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0x7fc382ef3820 at pc 0x5560d31f229f bp 0x7ffe865f9530 sp 0x7ffe865f9520 WRITE of size 8 at 0x7fc382ef3820 thread T0 #0 0x5560d31f229e in WriteUHDRImage coders/uhdr.c:807 ```
