Description:   Opened: 2007-10-12 12:21 0000 
CVE-2007-5378 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-5378):
  Buffer overflow in the FileReadGIF function in tkImgGIF.c for Tk Toolkit
  8.4.12 and earlier, and 8.3.5 and earlier, allows user-assisted attackers to
  cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via an animated GIF in which
  the first subimage is smaller than a subsequent subimage, which triggers the
  overflow in the ReadImage function, a different vulnerability than
  CVE-2007-5137.

------- Comment #1 From Tobias Heinlein 2007-10-12 12:27:29 0000 ------- 
A version greater than 8.4.12 is already stable (for all archs but mips), but
there may still be users running a vulnerable version.
Tcltk, is it possible to remove 8.4.9 from the tree and to stabilise
8.4.16[-r1] on mips? Please advise.

------- Comment #2 From MATSUU Takuto 2007-10-14 07:30:47 0000 ------- 
I'm waiting to remove old versions in Bug #178320.

------- Comment #3 From Robert Buchholz 2007-11-12 02:38:04 0000 ------- 
Having insecure versions besides the secure ones is not a security issue, and
mips is not supported.

Closing, feel free to reopen if you disagree.
