Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in ImageMagick 7.0.6-1 Q16 (Image Processing Software). This affects the function ReadXBMImage of the file coders/xbm.c. The manipulation as part of a Header leads to a resource management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-399. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

In coders/xbm.c in ImageMagick 7.0.6-1 Q16, a DoS in ReadXBMImage() due to lack of an EOF (End of File) check might cause huge CPU consumption. When a crafted XBM file, which claims large rows and columns fields in the header but does not contain sufficient backing data, is provided, the loop over the rows would consume huge CPU resources, since there is no EOF check inside the loop.
