Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the FileReadGIF function in tkImgGIF.c for Tk Toolkit 8.4.12 and earlier, and 8.3.5 and earlier, allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via an animated GIF in which the first subimage is smaller than a subsequent subimage, which triggers the overflow in the ReadImage function, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-5137.

Desbordamiento de búfer en la función FileReadGIF de tkImgGIF.c para Tk Toolkit 8.4.12 y anteriores, y 8.3.5 y anteriores, permite a atacantes remotos con la intervención del usuario provocar una denegación de servicio (violación de segmento) mediante un GIF animado en el cual la primera sub-imagen es más pequeña que una sub-imagen subsiguiente, lo cual dispara el desbordamiento en la función REadImage, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2007-5137.
