The bm_readbody_bmp function in bitmap_io.c in Potrace 1.14 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and
application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
BMP image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2016-8698.
