NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgig package and not the libgig package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The gig::Instrument::UpdateRegionKeyTable function in gig.cpp in libgig 4.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory write and application crash) via a crafted gig file.
