Important: GraphicsMagick security update (Amazon Linux 2023)

Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-77118: A heap out-of-bounds write exists in the Photo CD (PCD) decoder of GraphicsMagick. In DecodeImage() (coders/pcd.c), the Huffman delta loop advances its output pointer with q++ after every decoded delta and never checks it against the end of the heap-allocated luma/chroma plane buffers. The pointer is repositioned only when a sync marker introduces a new plane/row; between sync markers the run length is bounded solely by the input. A crafted PCD file that positions the pointer near the end of a plane and then supplies a long run of deltas with no intervening sync therefore walks the pointer past the end of the allocation and writes through it. Processing an untrusted PCD file -- for example with gm convert or gm identify, or through any application linked against libGraphicsMagick -- can corrupt heap memory beyond the buffers. CVE-2026-13606: A flaw was found in GraphicsMagick's Photo CD (PCD) decoder. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted PCD file. This could lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory and potentially causing a denial of service or other unpredictable system behavior.
