in a stack overflow due to an unexpectedly long input filename.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
Note that applications relying on gif2png to process images can also
trigger the vulnerability.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All gif2png users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/gif2png-2.5.1-r1"</code>
