The DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c in GIFLIB (possibly version 3.0.x), as later shipped in cgif.c in sam2p 0.49.4, has a heap-based buffer overflow because a certain "Private->RunningCode - 2" array index is not checked. This will lead to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:1970-2 advisory.

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in util/gif2rgb.c in gif2rgb in giflib 5.1.2 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via the background color index in a GIF file. (CVE-2016-3977)

  - The DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c in GIFLIB (possibly version 3.0.x), as later shipped in     cgif.c in sam2p 0.49.4, has a heap-based buffer overflow because a certain Private->RunningCode - 2     array index is not checked. This will lead to a denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact.
    (CVE-2018-11490)

  - In GIFLIB before 2019-02-16, a malformed GIF file triggers a divide-by-zero exception in the decoder     function DGifSlurp in dgif_lib.c if the height field of the ImageSize data structure is equal to zero.
    (CVE-2019-15133)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3223 advisory.

According to the version of the giflib package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - The DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c in GIFLIB     (possibly version 3.0.x), as later shipped in cgif.c in     sam2p 0.49.4, has a heap-based buffer overflow because     a certain 'Private->RunningCode - 2' array index is not     checked. This will lead to a denial of service or     possibly unspecified other impact.(CVE-2018-11490)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that GIFLIB incorrectly handled certain GIF files.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-3977)
