This updates fixes numerous vulnerabilities in imagemagick: Various memory handling problems and cases of missing or incomplete input sanitising may result in denial of service, memory disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed DPX, RLE, CIN, DIB, EPT, MAT, VST, PNG, JNG, MNG, DVJU, JPEG, TXT, PES, MPC, UIL, PS, PALM, CIP, TIFF, ICON, MAGICK, DCM, MSL, WMF, MIFF, PCX, SUN, PSD, MVG, PWP, PICT, PDB, SFW, or XCF files are processed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 6.7.7.10-5+deb7u16.

We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.
