Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the ReadDIBImage function of coders/dib.c when processing malicious input in DIB reader. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash via a dib file that is crafted to appear with direct pixel values and also colormapping (which is not available beyond 8-bits/sample), and therefore lacks indexes initialization.
