Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Magick.NET-Q16 packages (including the AnyCPU, HDRI, and OpenMP variants for x64, x86 and arm64) before version 14.10.3 are affected by a heap use-after-free flaw in ImageMagick's meta coder. The source gives few details; it says the issue occurs when an allocation fails and a single byte is written through a stale pointer. Upgrade to version 14.10.3 or later.
