ImageMagick before 7.1.2-32 contains a memory leak vulnerability in the -process option that allows attackers to cause unreleased memory allocations by supplying certain arguments. Attackers can repeatedly invoke the -process option with crafted arguments to gradually exhaust memory and degrade service availability.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:4799-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2026-93586: use-after-free in the `ImagesToBlob` method can lead to a process crash (bsc#1281912).

    - CVE-2026-106566: delegate symlink cleanup does not check the MAGICK_SHRED_PASSES environment variable,     allowing a       local privileged workflow to overwrite a file with random data (bsc#1284663).
    - CVE-2026-106567: a crafted PSD file can trigger an integer-conversion error in the PSD decoder, causing     an infinite       loop and DoS (bsc#1284664).
    - CVE-2026-106568: a crafted XMP profile embedded in an image can cause the profile parser to enter an     infinite loop       (bsc#1284665).
    - CVE-2026-106570: an unauthenticated adjacent-network client can repeatedly connect to the distributed     pixel cache       server and exhaust its available connections, causing a DoS (bsc#1284667).
    - CVE-2026-106571: a crafted local call to the GetVirtualPixels API can trigger an integer calculation     error and write       beyond a heap buffer, crashing the server process (bsc#1284668).
    - CVE-2026-106572: a missing recursion-depth check in the CALS decoder allows a crafted CALS image to     exhaust the call       stack and terminate the process (bsc#1284669).
    - CVE-2026-106573: a missing limit check in the MVG decoder allows a crafted MVG image to trigger an     excessively long-       running operation (bsc#1284671).
    - CVE-2026-106574: a client connected to the distributed pixel cache server can send crafted pixel data     that triggers a       heap buffer overwrite and crash the server (bsc#1284672).
    - CVE-2026-106575: a crafted Magick script can cause an opened file pointer to remain unclosed, allowing     repeated       processing to exhaust available file descriptors (bsc#1284673).
    - CVE-2026-106577: unescaped or untrimmed values can inject code into output generated by PostScript     coders       (bsc#1284675).
    - CVE-2026-106578: a crafted image can cause an invalid memory free in the MVG decoder and crash the     process       (bsc#1284677).
    - CVE-2026-106579: a crafted image can bypass an ImageMagick security policy that uses coder as its     domain, potentially       allowing data prohibited by the policy to be read (bsc#1284678).
    - CVE-2026-106580: a missing security-policy check in the CUT encoder allows a crafted local encoding     operation to read       data that policy should deny and can also cause a crash (bsc#1284680).
    - CVE-2026-107208: a crafted XMP profile can reach a recursion limit that is handled as a fatal condition     instead of an       ordinary exception, terminating the image-processing process (bsc#1284681).
    - CVE-2026-107209: when ImageMagick is built without Cairo support, a crafted RSVG image that reaches a     resource limit       can cause a crash (bsc#1284682).
    - CVE-2026-107210: a crafted highly compressed MAT image can make the MAT decoder create temporary files     larger than the       configured security-policy limit (bsc#1284683).
    - CVE-2026-109259: Information disclosure via crafted TGA image (bsc#1285071).
