Denial of Service vulnerability. This occurs as the result of a specific XMP file conversion command that causes the 
program to generate infinite lines. A remote unauthorized attacker could use this vulnerability to prevent access to 
the target.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
