Updated graphicsmagick packages fix CVE-2014-1947
Updated graphicsmagick packages fix security vulnerability:
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way GraphicsMagick writes PSD images when the input data has a large number of layers. Due to the compilation options used in Mageia, the buffer overflow is reduced to a crash, making this a denial of service issue (CVE-2014-1947).
