Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via the 'buffer' variable in gifread.c, an attacker can cause a global buffer overflow by manipulating the input data. This is only exploitable if the attacker has local access and the user runs the manipulated data. The overflow can lead to data corruption and potential code execution.
