[Bug 1646485] Re: security update regression in 'convert' tool when creating an image containing a text label

[Marc Deslauriers]

This is caused by a bad patch backport to trusty and precise. I'll be
releasing a fix for this issue today or tomorrow.

Title:
  security update regression in 'convert' tool when creating an image
  containing a text label

Status in imagemagick package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in imagemagick source package in Precise:
  Confirmed
Status in imagemagick source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running the following command doesn't work anymore:

     convert -background transparent -fill black -pointsize 32
  label:test out.png

  when libmagickcore4-8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.6 is installed.

  It fails with the following error:

  convert: missing an image filename `out.png' @
  error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3011.

  and exits with status 1.

  It works fine when I downgrade libmagickcore4 to 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.5.
  The image is created, and the exit status is 0.

  It seems like the security patches in 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.6 broke this
  behavior.
