CVE-2016-3994  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.4 imlib2 to version 1.4.8-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream imlib2 package and not the imlib2 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

The GIF loader in imlib2 before 1.4.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or obtain sensitive information via a crafted image, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
