MGASA-2012-0267
Date: 	September 13th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated graphicsmagick packages fix security vulnerability:

The Magick_png_malloc function in coders/png.c in GraphicsMagick 1.3.16
and earlier does not use the proper variable type for the allocation
size,
which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via
a crafted PNG file that triggers incorrect memory allocation
(CVE-2012-3438).
