CVE-2026-109261

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageMagick versions prior to 6.9.13-57 ImageMagick versions prior to 7.1.2-32

Description A memory leak exists in the GIF encoder. This occurs because allocated memory is not released when color quantization—the process of reducing the number of distinct colors in an image—fails during encoding. An attacker can provide images that trigger a quantization failure during GIF conversion, causing memory to leak with each attempt and degrading system availability.

Recommendations Update to version 6.9.13-57 or later. Update to version 7.1.2-32 or later.
