Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GraphicsMagick version 1.3.27

Description The issue is related to an infinite loop in the ReadBMPImage function, which can cause an application hang. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image file with a specific bit-field mask value. The vulnerability can be leveraged using a specially created file.

Recommendations For GraphicsMagick version 1.3.27, consider disabling the ReadBMPImage function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to image files that could potentially exploit this issue to minimize the risk of denial of service.
