Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2012-3481 (CCN-77881)

Assigned:2012-08-20
Published:2012-08-20
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:Integer overflow in the ReadImage function in plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c in the GIF image format plug-in in GIMP 2.8.x and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted height and len properties in a GIF image file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Note: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
