Miniupnp · Miniupnp Ngiflib · CVE-2018-10717
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MiniUPnP ngiflib version 0.4
**Description**
The issue is related to the DecodeGifImg function in ngiflib.c, which does not consider the bounds of the pixels data structure. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a WritePixels heap-based buffer overflow and application crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted GIF file.
**Recommendations**
For MiniUPnP ngiflib version 0.4, consider disabling the DecodeGifImg function until a patch is available to prevent potential exploitation. Restrict access to handling GIF files to minimize the risk of a denial of service or other impacts.
