Thanks fmw42, saved my day.

Your IM versions is ancient. But Linux distributions don't change version numbers when they add patches. So you last patch was 6/11/2018, so just a fe days ago. Good to know! That makes me feel much better since we build and update the base OS frequently. How can I see the latest patches that are b...

Yeah I'm still trying to understand all the options. I really want just a png parser, resize and transparency, nothing else. As a binary if possible. I see '--disable-installed' option saying 'less secure' but with no details as to what security I'm giving up. So far I'm using ./configure --prefix /...

That's helpful thanks, we also accept jpeg but rename the suffix to png and use the png parser. Does that help avoid jpeg parser vulnerabilities? Or not really change anything. I tried reading through cve issues but it's overwhelming and still not clear if this version is safe with png only parser. ...

I'm running ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 on Ubuntu Trusty with only the png parser being used (jpeg being renamed to png, or png's) Am I vulnerable to any known exploits?

or B) uninstall all the build-dep that aren't needed after I install from source.

I'm doing a multistage docker build where I build the latest imagemagick and all it's build dependencies for ubuntu 14.04 (there are a lot) and I want to copy over just the 'convert' binary and whatever shared libraries it needs to work so I don't have all the build dep cruft on my production system...

Thanks , I was able to get 7.0.8-5 installed using these instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/745660/imagemagick-png-delegate-install-problems/746195#746195 My problem now is that build-dep installs an INSANE amount of packages and I want to remove those once imagemagick is installed. Do I ...

Hi,

How do I go about installing the latest ImageMagick version on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty?
apt-get install installs Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2018-06-11 Q16

Is there a safe PPA or other method, maybe from source to install the latest?

Thanks.
