My understanding -- from the author's description (CC-ed) -- is that the flaws 
are inherent and can not be /fully/ fixed. ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick 
both look at the filename for the "special characters" and extensions. By 
carefully crafting those, it may be possible to cause them to launch other 
executables...

There should be more in the ChangeLog...
