USN-7876-1: ImageMagick vulnerability

Publication date: 20 November 2025
Overview: ImageMagick could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Packages
imagemagick - Image manipulation programs and library

Details
It was discovered that ImageMagick did not properly handle memory when
encoding BMP images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
ImageMagick to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. This issue exists due to an incomplete fix for
CVE-2025-57803.
