Could we get a statement if CVE-2016-5118 is only Imagemagick 7 ?

Thanks Bastien

We disable pipes in both ImageMagick 6 and 7 now. It can be reenabled with with --enable-pipes configure script command line.

Could we get also statement about CVE-2016-6520 aka https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMag ... 07270f6da6

This is a ImageMagick 7 specific patch. We allocate the buffers based on the number of image pixel channels, however, the method was not returning the correct number of channels, 3 (RGB) instead of 4 (RGBA). Calling SyncImagePixelCache() forces an update to the pixel cache morphology and then GetImageChannels() correctly returns 4 channels. A better fix, which we subsequently added, was to ensure that each image, as it is returned by a coder, is synced such that GetImageChannels() always returns the correct value. For this particular case, we set the image trait to alpha but we did not evaluate the image to update the change in the pixel cache morphology from 3 to 4.
