NASL family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks NASL id SL_20090422_GIFLIB_ON_SL5_X.NASL description Several flaws were discovered in the way giflib decodes GIF images. An attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image that could cause an application using giflib to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when opened by a victim. (CVE-2005-2974, CVE-2005-3350) All running applications using giflib must be restarted for the update to take effect. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 60574 published 2012-08-01 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/60574 title Scientific Linux Security Update : giflib on SL5.x i386/x86_64 NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2005-828.NASL description Updated libungif packages that fix two security issues are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The libungif package contains a shared library of functions for loading and saving GIF format image files. Several bugs in the way libungif decodes GIF images were discovered. An attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libungif to crash or execute arbitrary code when the file is opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the names CVE-2005-2974 and CVE-2005-3350 to these issues. All users of libungif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that resolve these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 20145 published 2005-11-04 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/20145 title RHEL 2.1 / 3 / 4 : libungif (RHSA-2005:828) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200511-03.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200511-03 (giflib: Multiple vulnerabilities) Chris Evans and Daniel Eisenbud independently discovered two out-of-bounds memory write operations and a NULL pointer dereference in giflib. Impact : An attacker could craft a malicious GIF image and entice users to load it using an application making use of the giflib library, resulting in an application crash or potentially the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 20153 published 2005-11-07 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/20153 title GLSA-200511-03 : giflib: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2005-1046.NASL description The libungif package contains a shared library of functions for loading and saving GIF format image files.
