  - A vulnerability was detected in GraphicsMagick up to 1.3.47. Affected by this vulnerability is the
    function ExtractPostscript of the file coders/wpg.c of the component WPG File Handler. Performing a
    manipulation results in uncontrolled recursion. The attack may be initiated remotely. The patch is named
    627b5b1b2fc2. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue. The vendor was contacted early,
    responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
