Several buffer overflows were found in Imagemagick, a suite of image manipulation programs. Processing malformed PSD files could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.6.0.4-3+squeeze4. For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10-5+deb7u3. For the testing distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10+dfsg-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 8:6.7.7.10+dfsg-1. We recommend that you upgrade your imagemagick packages.

ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (over 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bezier curves. All manipulations can be achieved through shell commands as well as through an X11 graphical interface (display).
