graphics/ImageMagick{,6} packages and PS, EPS, PDF, XPS coders disabled by default (workaround for VU#332928)
Dear pkgsrc-users@,
in order to workaround possible sandbox bypass vulnerabilities
disclosed yesterday on oss-security@ mailing list^[0] by Tavis
Ormandy, PS, EPS, PDF, XPS coders that uses ghostscript and are
affected to that are now disabled by default in policy.xml (in
pkgsrc-current in ImageMagick-7.0.8.10nb2 and
ImageMagick6-6.9.9.38nb4)
If these coders are needed, please note that apart commenting/removing
lines added in policy.xml, the ghostscript coders can be enabled
per-user by copying policy.xml to ~/.config/ImageMagick/policy.xml
and adjusting it with the following lines:
| [...]
| <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PS" />
| <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="EPS" />
| <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />
| <policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="XPS" />
| [...]

Thanks!
