Summary
ImageMagick before 6.9.13-57 and from 7.0.0-0 before 7.1.2-32 contains a code injection flaw in its MVG decoder when a PostScript renderer is used (CWE-74). A remote attacker without privileges or user interaction can supply a crafted MVG file that injects code into the PostScript rendering path when it is decoded, with low impact on integrity and availability.
