ImageMagick is an image display and manipulation tool for the X Window
System that can read and write multiple image formats.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in the ImageMagick routine responsible for creating X11 images. An
attacker could create a specially-crafted image file that, when opened by a
victim, would cause ImageMagick to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2009-1882)

Users of ImageMagick are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running
instances of ImageMagick must be restarted for this update to take effect.
