CVE-2026-47166
Description
A flaw was found in ImageMagick, a widely used software for image editing. An attacker with high privileges and local access could exploit a vulnerability in the magick -distribute-cache service. By causing a heap buffer over-read, this could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information and potentially disrupt the availability of the service.
Statement
Moderate: This flaw in ImageMagick could lead to information disclosure and denial of service. Exploitation requires an attacker to have high privileges and local access to the system, specifically targeting the magick -distribute-cache service. This limits the overall risk in typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
