Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-109272 describes a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the PostScript decoder component of ImageMagick versions 7.1.1-31 before 7.1.2-32. The issue occurs when a policy limit is reached while processing a maliciously crafted PostScript file, causing the application to crash. This results in a denial of service condition. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or integrity, only availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 3.7 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation causes a denial of service by crashing the ImageMagick application when processing a specially crafted PostScript file. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The attack requires network access and high attack complexity, with no privileges or user interaction needed.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in ImageMagick version 7.1.2-32 and later. Users should upgrade to version 7.1.2-32 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, restricting processing of untrusted PostScript files or disabling PostScript support may mitigate risk.
