CVE-2026-26283

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40, a `continue` statement in the JPEG extent binary search loop in the jpeg encoder causes an infinite loop when writing persistently fails. An attacker can trigger a 100% CPU consumption and process hang (Denial of Service) with a crafted image. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.

Summary		(es) ImageMagick es software libre y de código abierto utilizado para editar y manipular imágenes digitales. Antes de las versiones 7.1.2-15 y 6.9.13-40, una sentencia 'continue' en el bucle de búsqueda binaria de extensión JPEG en el codificador jpeg causa un bucle infinito cuando la escritura falla persistentemente. Un atacante puede desencadenar un consumo del 100% de la CPU y un cuelgue del proceso (Denegación de Servicio) con una imagen manipulada. Las versiones 7.1.2-15 y 6.9.13-40 contienen un parche.
