Low [CVE-2026-61860] Denial of Service via use-after-free during freetype initialization
CVE-2026-61860Source published Source updated
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-26 and 6.9.13-51 contains a use-after-free vulnerability that occurs when freetype initialization fails: the method does not exit and continues to use memory that was already freed. This can be triggered during image processing and may lead to a denial of service. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs when the freetype library fails to initialize, causing the software to continue processing with freed memory. A remote attacker could exploit this during image processing, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition, which would make the service unavailable to legitimate users. Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships ImageMagick in RHEL 6 ELS and RHEL 7 ELS. This flaw has been rated as having a Low security impact and is not currently planned to be addressed in…
