Title: Libungif Colormap Handling Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

The libungif library is used for reading and writing gif images.

The library is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability. This issue results from a boundary-condition error and may allow an attacker to trigger a denial of service or to potentially execute arbitrary code.

Reportedly, since the library fails to properly handle colormaps in GIF files, an attacker can trigger out-of-bounds writes and corrupt memory. This may lead to a denial of service in an application that employs the affected library. The attacker may be able to leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.

This issue affects libungif 4.1.3 and earlier.
