Description:
Andrei Nigmatulin has reported a vulnerability in ImageMagick, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 6.1.0 and 6.1.7. Other versions may also be affected.

Update to version 6.1.8-8.
