Official Description

ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contains a heap use-after-free in the meta coder: when memory allocation fails, a single byte is written to a stale pointer. Remote attackers can trigger it by processing specially crafted image files, causing a denial of service.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-56376 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-416): Use-after-free vulnerabilities involve accessing memory after it has been freed, often enabling arbitrary code execution.
