**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ImageMagick version 7.0.6-1 Q16
**Description**
The issue is related to a lack of an EOF (End of File) check in the ReadXBMImage() function, which can cause huge CPU consumption. This occurs when a crafted XBM file with large rows and columns fields in the header but insufficient backing data is provided, leading to a loop over the rows that consumes significant CPU resources.
**Recommendations**
For ImageMagick version 7.0.6-1 Q16, consider disabling the ReadXBMImage() function until a patch is available to prevent potential denial of service attacks. Restrict access to XBM files to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `ReadXBMImage()` function with untrusted input files until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
