Description

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, ImageMagick lacks proper boundary checking when processing Huffman-coded data from PCD (Photo CD) files. The decoder contains an function that has an incorrect initialization that could cause an out of bounds read. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.

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-2026-26284 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

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 HatModerate

This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick involves a heap overflow in the PCD (Photo CD) decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read when processing Huffman-coded data. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted PCD file. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS are affected.

Workaround published by Red Hat
To mitigate this issue, restrict ImageMagick's ability to process PCD (Photo CD) files by disabling the PCD coder. This can be done by adding or modifying a policy entry in the ImageMagick configuration file, typically located at `/etc/ImageMagick-X/policy.xml` (where 'X' is the ImageMagick version). Add the following line within the `<policymap>` tags: ```xml <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PCD" /> ``` Applications utilizing ImageMagick may require a restart for this change to take effect. This action will prevent ImageMagick from processing PCD files, which may affect functionality dependent on this format.
