Synopsis:	Moderate: ImageMagick security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2010-08-25
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-1882

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)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* previously, portions of certain RGB images on the right side were not
rendered and left black when converting or displaying them. With this
update, RGB images display correctly. (BZ#625058)

All running instances of ImageMagick must be restarted for this update
to take effect.
