ImageMagick - Heap Out-of-Bounds Read in PCD Decoder

Published Jun 21, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 (and 6.x before 6.9.13-40) contains a heap out-of-bounds read in the PCD coder's DecodeImage loop. A crafted PCD file can trigger a one-byte heap out-of-bounds read during image decoding, resulting in denial of service and potential disclosure of an adjacent heap byte.
