0000187: ImageMagick vulnerability
ImageMagick is part of MEGA 6.0.6 and has recently published bugfixes to the vulnerabilities CVE-2016-3714 and CVE-2016-5118. Will there be an updated version of MEGA 6 including these ImageMagick fixes available?

Kind regards,

Speed and accuracy is a trade off issue in iterative computations. Our algorithm is a standard fast algorithm and at least much faster than PHYLIP. Anyway, I will think about it to make faster.

Hi Sebastian,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. In the latest version of MEGA (version 7), ImageMagick has been removed. The installer for MEGA7 also has an option to remove MEGA6 and all of its files and we recommend that you upgrade to MEGA7 which includes many improvements over MEGA6.
