Summary

ImageMagick affected by divide-by-zero in ThumbnailImage via montage -geometry ":" leads to crash

Details

Summary

Passing a geometry string containing only a colon (":") to montage -geometry leads GetGeometry() to set width/height to 0. Later, ThumbnailImage() divides by these zero dimensions, triggering a crash (SIGFPE/abort), resulting in a denial of service.

Details

Root Cause 1. montage -geometry ":" ... reaches MagickCore/geometry.c:GetGeometry(). 2. StringToDouble/InterpretLocaleValue parses ":" as 0.0; then: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/0ba1b587be17543b664f7ad538e9e51e0da59d17/MagickCore/geometry.c#L355 WidthValue (and/or HeightValue) is set with a zero dimension. 3. In MagickCore/resize.c:ThumbnailImage(), the code computes: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/0ba1b587be17543b664f7ad538e9e51e0da59d17/MagickCore/resize.c#L4625-L4629 causing a division by zero and immediate crash.

The issue is trivially triggerable without external input files (e.g., using xc:white).

Reproduction

Environment

Version: ImageMagick 7.1.2-1 (Beta) Q16-HDRI x86_64 0ba1b587b:20250812 https://imagemagick.org
Features: Cipher DPC HDRI
Delegates (built-in): bzlib fontconfig freetype jbig jng jpeg lcms lzma pangocairo png tiff x xml zlib
Compiler: clang (14.0.0)
OS/Arch: Linux x86_64

Steps

./bin/magick montage -geometry : xc:white null:

Observed result

IOT instruction (core dumped)
# (Environment-dependent: SIGFPE/abort may be observed.)

PoC

No external file required; the pseudo image xc:white suffices:

./bin/magick montage -geometry : xc:white null:

Impact

Denial of Service: A divide-by-zero in ThumbnailImage() causes immediate abnormal termination (e.g., SIGFPE/abort), crashing the ImageMagick process.

Suggested fix

Defensively reject zero dimensions early in ThumbnailImage():

if ((columns == 0) || (rows == 0)) {
  (void) ThrowMagickException(exception, GetMagickModule(), OptionError,
    "InvalidGeometry", "thumbnail requires non-zero dimensions: %.20gx%.20g",
    (double) columns, (double) rows);
  return (Image *) NULL;
}

Additionally, consider tightening validation in GetGeometry() so that colon-only (and similar malformed) inputs do not yield WidthValue/HeightValue with zero, or are rejected outright. Variants like "x:" or ":x" may also need explicit handling (maintainer confirmation requested).

CVE-2025-55212 (GCVE-0-2025-55212)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-26 16:43 – Updated: 2025-11-03 18:13

Title

ImageMagick affected by divide-by-zero in ThumbnailImage via montage -geometry ":" leads to crash

Summary

ImageMagick is free and open-source software used for editing and manipulating digital images. Prior to versions 6.9.13-28 and 7.1.2-2, passing a geometry string containing only a colon (":") to montage -geometry leads GetGeometry() to set width/height to 0. Later, ThumbnailImage() divides by these zero dimensions, triggering a crash (SIGFPE/abort), resulting in a denial of service. This issue has been patched in versions 6.9.13-28 and 7.1.2-2.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
