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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The gig::DimensionRegion::CreateVelocityTable function in gig.cpp in libgig 4.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted gig file.
