Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 3.03%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In ImageMagick 7.0.8-13 Q16, there is an infinite loop in the ReadBMPImage function of the coders/bmp.c file. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file.
