Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wesnoth versions prior to r32987

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in memory consumption and daemon hang, by utilizing a map with a large width or height. This is due to a problem in the read game map function.

Recommendations For versions prior to r32987, update to a version after r32987 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of maps with large dimensions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
