Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2023-01-11 17:16:28 UTC 
When reading XPM images from a file with libXpm 3.5.14 or older, if a image has a width of 0 and a very large height, the ParsePixels() function will loop over the entire height calling getc() and ungetc() repeatedly, or in some circumstances, may loop seemingly forever, which may cause a denial of service to the calling program when given a small crafted XPM file to parse.
