ImageMagick's MSL image stack index not refreshed, leading to leaked images.
Summary
ImageMagick's MSL image stack index not refreshed, leading to leaked images.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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.
