Problem description: The libungif package contains a shared library of functions for loading and saving GIF format image files. Several bugs in the way libungif decodes GIF images were discovered. An attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libungif to crash or execute arbitrary code when the file is opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the names CVE-2005-2974 and CVE-2005-3350 to these issues. All users of libungif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that resolve these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 171413 - CVE-2005-2974 Several libungif issues (CVE-2005-3350) |

| Title: | RHSA-2009:0444 -- giflib security update (Important) | ||
| Description: | Updated giflib packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The giflib packages contain a shared library of functions for loading and saving GIF image files. This library is API and ABI compatible with libungif, the library that supported uncompressed GIF image files while the Unisys LZW patent was in effect. Several flaws were discovered in the way giflib decodes GIF images. An attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image that could cause an application using giflib to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when opened by a victim.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 20471 | libungif/giflib Crafted .gif File Arbitrary Code Execution A remote overflow exists in libungif. The library fails to properly validate colormaps in GIF files, resulting in out-of-bounds writes and memory corruption. When a program using libungif opens a specially crafted GIF file, an attacker may be able to cause arbitrary code execution, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 20470 | libungif/giflib Malformed .gif File NULL Dereference DoS libungif contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a program using libungif opens a specially crafted GIF file. Due to a flaw in the library, this may cause the ColorMaps value incorrectly when freeing a colormap object, and will result in the program crashing with a NULL dereference. |
