Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for imagemagick.

CVE-2017-14684[0]:
| In ImageMagick 7.0.7-4 Q16, a memory leak vulnerability was found in
| the function ReadVIPSImage in coders/vips.c, which allows attackers to
| cause a denial of service (memory consumption in ResizeMagickMemory in
| MagickCore/memory.c) via a crafted file.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

    https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-14684
[1] https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/770

Beeing a memory leak issue, as per previous discussion, not as severe,
but still filling a bug to have a tracking within the BTS and mapping
to CVE and upstream issue.

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.

Regards,
Salvatore
