    Denial of Service vulnerability in the XWD decoder of ImageMagick and
    GraphicsMagick when setting a color mask to zero.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted image to a user or
    an automated system making use of an affected utility, resulting in a
    Denial of Service by consumption of CPU time.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>

    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.2.3&quot;</code>
