CVE-2026-25967Network attack vector

Process crash via oversized FTXT integer field

Published Feb 24, 2026 · Updated Feb 24, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 allows remote attackers to crash applications by supplying crafted FTXT files. The FTXT reader accepts an oversized integer field and writes it into a fixed-size stack buffer without enforcing the destination bound. Exploitation requires an application to process attacker-supplied FTXT content; the demonstrated consequence is a process crash.
