Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
ImageMagick before 7.0.5-2 and GraphicsMagick before 1.3.24 use uninitialized memory in the RLE decoder, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information from process memory space, as demonstrated by remote attacks against ImageMagick code in a long-running server process that converts image data on behalf of multiple users. This is caused by a missing initialization step in the ReadRLEImage function in coders/rle.c.
