Description

A stack buffer overflow occurs when processing the an attribute in msl.c. A long value overflows a fixed-size stack buffer, leading to memory corruption.

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 GHSA-3mwp-xqp2-q6ph is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

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

A MODERATE impact stack buffer overflow flaw exists in ImageMagick. This vulnerability occurs when processing a specially crafted image file containing a long attribute value, leading to memory corruption, unpredictable behavior, or a denial of service. This affects ImageMagick as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux,…

Workaround published by Red Hat
To reduce the risk associated with this vulnerability, avoid processing untrusted or maliciously crafted image files with ImageMagick. If ImageMagick is not required for system operations, consider removing packages that depend on it. Removing ImageMagick or its dependent packages may affect applications that rely on its image processing capabilities.
