NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxpm package and not the libxpm package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libXpm. This issue occurs when parsing a file with a comment not closed; the end-of-file condition will not be detected, leading to an infinite loop and resulting in a Denial of Service in the application linked to the library.
