About ===== giflib[1] is a library for working with GIF images. It also provides several command-line utilities. CVE-2015-7555 ============= A heap overflow may occur in the giffix utility included in giflib-5.1.1 when processing records of the type `IMAGE_DESC_RECORD_TYPE' due to the allocated size of `LineBuffer' equaling the value of the logical screen width, `GifFileIn->SWidth', while subsequently having `GifFileIn->Image.Width' bytes of data written to it. giflib-5.1.1/util/giffix.c #35..194: ,---- | int main(int argc, char **argv) | { | [...] | if ((LineBuffer = (GifRowType) malloc(GifFileIn->SWidth)) == NULL) | GIF_EXIT("Failed to allocate memory required, aborted."); | | /* Scan the content of the GIF file and load the image(s) in: */ | do { | [...] | switch (RecordType) { | case IMAGE_DESC_RECORD_TYPE: | if (DGifGetImageDesc(GifFileIn) == GIF_ERROR) | QuitGifError(GifFileIn, GifFileOut); | [...] | Width = GifFileIn->Image.Width; | Height = GifFileIn->Image.Height; | [...] | /* Find the darkest color in color map to use as a filler. */ | ColorMap = (GifFileIn->Image.ColorMap ?
