CVE-2026-28686

A flaw was found in ImageMagick, free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. A local attacker could exploit a heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in the PCL encode due to an undersized output buffer allocation. This could lead to a denial of service (DoS), making the software unavailable, and potentially impact data integrity.

This MODERATE impact vulnerability in ImageMagick involves a heap-buffer-overflow within the PCL encoder. Processing a specially crafted image could trigger this flaw, potentially leading to denial of service or other impacts. This affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ELS and 7 ELS, as well as community projects like Fedora and EPEL, where ImageMagick is used for image processing.
