CVE-2026-109279
Last modified
CVE-2026-109279 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 2.5/10 on the CVSS scale. ImageMagick before 6.9.13-57 and 7.x before 7.1.2-32 lacks proper synchronization when the security policy is accessed, so simultaneous reads and writes of the policy by multiple threads trigger a race condition that causes a heap buffer over-write. An attacker able to induce concurrent security policy access can crash the application, causing a denial of service.. EPSS estimates a 0.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
