NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream byzanz package and not the byzanz package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The GIF encoder in Byzanz allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Byzanz debug data recording (ByzanzRecording file) to the byzanz-playback command.
