Description:
Tavis Ormandy has reported a weakness in ImageMagick, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The problem is caused due to an infinite loop in the XWD decoder when setting a colour mask and can be exploited to consume a large amount of CPU resources via a specially crafted image.
