What is CVE-2026-109265?

ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-32 are susceptible to a heap buffer over-read vulnerability. This issue arises due to improper string termination within XMP profiles, enabling attackers to exploit the flaw by providing crafted image files. When these images are processed, the application may read beyond its allocated memory bounds, potentially leading to crashes and disrupted services.
