Bug 109997 – media-libs/giflib: buffer overflow / null pointer deref

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-10-21 01:17:32 UTC]

Chris Evans discovered that libungif 4.1.4 fixed potentially sensitive issues
that may be used to execute arbitrary code.

These issues were initially discovered by Daniel Eisenbud and silently fixed in
4.1.4.

[Comment 1 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-10-21 01:20:57 UTC]

Mamoru: this is a semi-public issue, could you silently add 4.1.4 to the tree so
that we are ready to disclose it by the coordinated date (2005/10/28, 1400 UTC)

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-10-21 06:50:15 UTC]

libungif is dead

only giflib should be updated and libungif should be masked

[Comment 3 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-10-21 08:49:21 UTC]

Release date is now set to 2005/11/03

[Comment 4 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-10-28 00:37:51 UTC]

Ccing security liaisons...
Please test and mark 4.1.4 stable, so that's the ebuild is ready at GLSA release
time.

[Comment 15 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-11-04 00:44:26 UTC]

mips should mark giflib-4.1.4 ~
ppc-macos should test and mark giflib-4.1.4 stable

[Comment 16 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-11-04 00:45:05 UTC]

Hm. in fact mips should even test and mark stable.

[Comment 17 Fabian Groffen 2005-11-04 02:39:30 UTC]

I had to stable the follow packages to stable giflib-4.1.4:
urt-3.1b-r1
ghostscript-7.07.1-r10
media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std-8.11

Note: I encountered bug #111455 but ignored it for now and stabled giflib.

[Comment 18 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-11-04 04:34:10 UTC]

GLSA 200511-03
mips should mark stable to benefit from GLSA

[Comment 19 Hardave Riar (RETIRED) 2005-11-20 02:14:59 UTC]

Stable on mips.
