imagemagick vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10

Summary:

ImageMagick could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- imagemagick: Image manipulation programs and library

Details:

It was discovered that ImageMagick incorrectly handled decoding GIF image
comments. If a user or automated system using ImageMagick were tricked into
opening a specially crafted GIF image, an attacker could exploit this to
cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of
the user invoking the program.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.04:
  libmagick++5                    8:6.7.7.10-5ubuntu2.1
  libmagickcore5                  8:6.7.7.10-5ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.10:

  libmagickcore5                  8:6.7.7.10-2ubuntu4.1
