<description>
<p>
Chris Evans and Daniel Eisenbud independently discovered two
out-of-bounds memory write operations and a NULL pointer dereference in
giflib.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could craft a malicious GIF image and entice users to
load it using an application making use of the giflib library,
resulting in an application crash or potentially the execution of
arbitrary code.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All giflib users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/giflib-4.1.4&quot;</code>
</resolution>
