Description

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-16, an integer overflow vulnerability exists in the SIXEL decoer. The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform an out of bounds via a specially crafted image. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.2-16.

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 14.10.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r39q-jr8h-gcq2 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

This MODERATE impact vulnerability affects ImageMagick in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Community Projects. An integer overflow in the SIXEL decoder can lead to an out-of-bounds write when processing a specially crafted image, potentially resulting in a denial of service or other undefined behavior.

Workaround published by Red Hat
To mitigate this issue, avoid processing untrusted SIXEL image files with ImageMagick. If ImageMagick must process untrusted content, consider running it within a sandboxed environment to limit potential impact.
