<description>
<p>Two vulnerabilities have been found in gif2png:</p>
<ul>
<li>A boundary error in gif2png.c could cause a buffer overflow
(CVE-2010-4694).
</li>
<li>The patch for CVE-2009-5018 causes gif2png to truncate GIF pathnames
(CVE-2010-4695).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted GIF
file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code, a Denial of
Service condition, or the creation of PNG files in unintended
directories.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All gif2png users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/gif2png-2.5.8"
</code>
</resolution>
