CVE-2025-68469

Application crash via crafted TIFF processing

Published Dec 18, 2025 · Updated Dec 18, 2025

Heap-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick before 7.1.1-14 allows local users to crash the application by processing a crafted TIFF file. The vendor advisory identifies TIFF processing but does not disclose the decoder function, buffer, or incorrect memory operation. Exploitation requires an affected process to open attacker-supplied TIFF content, and the documented consequence is limited to that process crashing.
