Detail
| Problem 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. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: 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. (CVE-2005-2974, CVE-2005-3350) All users of giflib are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. All running applications using giflib must be restarted for the update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 494823 - CVE-2005-3350 giflib/libunfig: memory corruption via a crafted GIF 494826 - CVE-2005-2974 giflib/libunfig: NULL pointer dereference crash |

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. |
