We contacted the security team directly without CCing the lts mailing
list. However they didn't reply to us.

I was about to claim imagemagick in the next days and wanted to do some
targeted fixes. My idea was to forward port the fixes we did in Wheezy

determined the severity of all no-dsa CVE yet. We could combine our work
like I did with Mike and libav.
