Does this affect you?

It affects ImageMagick. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

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, sometimes msl.c fails to update the stack index, so an image is stored in the wrong slot and never freed on error, causing leaks. Versions 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contain a patch.
