Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in GifImagePlugin._seek when processing a multi-frame GIF image. The decompression bomb check calls Image._decompression_bomb_check but, prior to the fix, assigns the oversized dimensions to self._size before the check raises an exception. This means a failed decompression bomb check still permanently updates the image size, allowing an attacker to bypass the decompression bomb protection and cause a crash via a GIF image whose frame dimensions exceed the configured pixel limit.
