If OpenIndiana's build of ImageMagick uses a "modules" build, then one 
can delete the installed pdf.so, ps.so, ps2.so, and ps3.so and then it 
should not be possible to read the associated formats.

Under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I see the ImageMagick policy.xml is available 
at "/etc/ImageMagick/policy.xml".

The CERT advisory at https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/332928 provides 
an example which does not appear to block PS2 and PS3, which are also 
entry points for reading Postscript.
