Updated imagemagick package fixes security vulnerabilities
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick handled PSD images that use RLE encoding. An attacker could create a malicious PSD image file that, when opened in ImageMagick, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running ImageMagick (CVE-2014-1958).
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way ImageMagick writes PSD images when the input data has a large number of unlabeled layers (CVE-2014-2030).
