Libnsgif · Libnsgif · CVE-2015-7505
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Libnsgif version 0.1.2
Description:
The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the `gif next LZW` function, which can be triggered by a crafted LZW stream in a GIF file. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.
Recommendations:
For Libnsgif version 0.1.2, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as using a crafted GIF file could lead to a denial of service or code execution. If no update is available, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of GIF files or implementing additional validation on LZW streams to minimize the risk of exploitation.
