GHSA-9pp9-cfwx-54rm: ImageMagick has Integer Overflow in BMP Decoder (ReadBMP)

## Summary CVE-2025-57803 claims to be patched in ImageMagick 7.1.2-2, but **the fix is incomplete and ineffective**. The latest version **7.1.2-5 remains vulnerable** to the same integer overflow attack. The patch added `BMPOverflowCheck()` but placed it **after** the overflow occurs, making it useless. A malicious 58-byte BMP file can trigger AddressSanitizer crashes and DoS. **Affected Versions:** - ImageMagick < 7.1.2-2 (originally reported) - **ImageMagick 7.1.2-2 through 7.1.2-5 (incomplete patch)** **Platform and Configuration Requirements:** - 32-bit systems ONLY (i386, i686, armv7l, etc.) - Requires `size_t = 4 bytes`. (64-bit systems are **NOT vulnerable** (size_t = 8 bytes)) - Requires modified resource limits: The default `width`, `height`, and `area` limits must have been manually increased (Systems using default ImageMagick resource limits are **NOT vulnerable**). --- ## Details(Root Cause Analysis) ### Vulnerable Code Location **File:** `coders/bmp.c` **Lines:*...
