AI-suggested

Upgrade ImageMagick to version 7.1.2-32 or later, where the issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A vulnerability in ImageMagick prior to version 7.1.2-32 allows a local privileged user to overwrite a file with random data due to improper handling of the MAGICK_SHRED_PASSES environment variable during delegate symlink cleanup. This issue has been fixed in version 7.1.2-32.
