Debian 10: DLA-3223-1 Critical: giflib Buffer Overflow and DoS Risk

debian lts
Calendar Grey December 5, 2022
Dist Debian Esm H88
Enhance giflib to rectify issues related to file formats, such as buffer overflow vulnerabilities and Denial of Service threats, following the guidance of Debian LTS DLA-3223-1.
This update fixes two file format vulnerabilities in giflib

Summary

CVE-2018-11490

The DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c, as later shipped in
cgif.c in sam2p 0.49.4, has a heap-based buffer overflow because a
certain "Private->RunningCode - 2" array index is not checked. This
will lead to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other
impact.

CVE-2019-15133

A malformed GIF file triggers a divide-by-zero exception in the
decoder function DGifSlurp in dgif_lib.c if the height field of the
ImageSize data structure is equal to zero.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
5.1.4-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your giflib packages.
