Giflib · Giflib · CVE-2021-36530
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ngiflib version 0.4
**Description**
The issue is a heap overflow in the `GetByteStr()` function at ngiflib.c:108 when in NGIFLIB NO FILE mode. This occurs because `GetByteStr()` copies a memory buffer without checking its boundary, leading to potential exploitation.
**Recommendations**
For ngiflib version 0.4, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `GetByteStr()` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `ngiflib.c` file, specifically the `GetByteStr()` function at line 108, to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
