What is CVE-2026-116157?

ImageMagick, prior to version 7.1.2-33, is impacted by a memory leak vulnerability in its PerlMagick interface. This flaw allows attackers to invoke property reads multiple times at five specific points in the PerlMagick code. Each read fails to release the allocated memory, progressively consuming system resources and ultimately leading to a denial of service as the memory is exhausted.

Affected Version(s)

ImageMagick 0 < 7.1.2-33

ImageMagick 7.1.2-33
