ImageMagick: Infinite loop vulnerability when parsing a PCD file
When a PCD file does not contain a valid marker, the DecodeImage() function becomes trapped in an infinite loop while searching for the marker, causing the program to become unresponsive and continuously consume CPU resources, ultimately leading to system resource exhaustion and denial of service.
The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources.
