Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2012-1185 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Multiple integer overflows in (1) magick/profile.c or (2) magick/property.c in ImageMagick 6.7.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted offset value in the ResolutionUnit tag in the EXIF IFD0 of an image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0247.. EPSS estimates a 30.90% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
