| Description: | The libungif package contains a shared library of functions for loading and saving GIF format image files.
Several bugs in the way libungif decodes GIF images were discovered. An attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libungif to crash or execute arbitrary code when the file is opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the names CVE-2005-2974 and CVE-2005-3350 to these issues.
All users of libungif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that resolve these issues.
