  - 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, an Integer Overflow vulnerability exists in the sun decoder. On 32-bit
    systems/builds, a carefully crafted image can lead to an out of bounds heap write. Versions 7.1.2-15 and
    6.9.13-40 contain a patch. (CVE-2026-25897)
