What is CVE-2005-1739?

The XWD Decoder in ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick can be exploited by remote attackers to initiate a denial of service (DoS). This occurs when a specially crafted image that contains a zero color mask is processed, leading the system into an infinite loop. This vulnerability can result in downtime and potential denial of service for users relying on these image processing tools. It is essential for users of affected versions to apply security updates to mitigate potential risks associated with this vulnerability.
