MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.94%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In GraphicsMagick 1.3.27, there is an infinite loop and application hang in the ReadBMPImage function (coders/bmp.c). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via an image file with a crafted bit-field mask value.
