What is CVE-2026-61864?

A memory leak vulnerability exists in ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51, specifically during color transformation operations to the log colorspace. When these operations fail, a small amount of memory remains allocated instead of being released properly, potentially leading to increased memory usage over time and impacting system performance. Proper adherence to security guidelines and updating to the latest versions is recommended to mitigate this issue.

Affected Version(s)

ImageMagick 0 < 7.1.2-26

ImageMagick 0 < 6.9.13-51
