ImageMagick Has Signed Integer Overflow in SIXEL Decoder, Leading to Memory Corruption

Published March 12, 2026Updated March 14, 2026Source: osv

Summary

A signed integer overflow vulnerability in ImageMagick's SIXEL decoder allows an attacker to trigger memory corruption and denial of service when processing a maliciously crafted SIXEL image file. The vulnerability occurs during buffer reallocation operations where pointer arithmetic using signed 32-bit integers overflows. ``` AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL ================================================================= ==143838==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: UNKNOWN SIGNAL on unknown address 0x000000000000 #0 0x7f379d5adb53 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6+0xc4b53) ```
