coders/psd.c in ImageMagick allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging an improper cast, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
