More information:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in GraphicsMagick, a collection of image processing tool, which can cause denial of service attacks, remote file deletion, and remote command execution.

This security update removes the full support of PLT/Gnuplot decoder to prevent Gnuplot-shell based shell exploits for fixing the CVE-2016-3714 vulnerability.

The undocumented TMP magick prefix no longer removes the argument file after it has been read for fixing the CVE-2016-3715 vulnerability. Since the TMP feature was originally implemented, GraphicsMagick added a temporary file management subsystem which assures that temporary files are removed so this feature is not needed.

Remove support for reading input from a shell command, or writing output to a shell command, by prefixing the specified filename (containing the command) with a '|' for fixing the CVE-2016-5118 vulnerability.
