Obviously, ImageMagick has some vulnerability which is "solved" by stopping it do what you would expect it to do. Like covert jpg or png files to a pdf. I was quite surprised by this, but luckily people have found a way to solve it (read here):
$ sudo mv /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xmlout
$ convert *.jpg my_new.pdf
$ sudo mv /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xmlout /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml
It's tempting to permanently edit the rules and to remove the line, but then I do that probably once a year, so I can easily type 3 lines instead of 1. And safety above all, lol.
