paul Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in gif2png: Stack-based buffer overflow in gif2png.c in gif2png 2.5.3 and earlier might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long command-line argument, as demonstrated by a CGI program that launches gif2png (CVE-2009-5018). Buffer overflow in gif2png.c in gif2png 2.5.3 and earlier might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or have unspecified other impact via a GIF file that contains many images, leading to long extensions such as .p100 for PNG output files, as demonstrated by a CGI program that launches gif2png, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-5018 (CVE-2010-4694). Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program.
