Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The LZW decompressor in the LWZReadByte function in giftoppm.c in the David Koblas GIF decoder in PBMPLUS,
as used in the gif_read_lzw function in filter/image-gif.c in CUPS before 1.4.7, the LZWReadByte function
in plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c in GIMP 2.6.11 and earlier, the LZWReadByte function in img/gifread.c
in XPCE in SWI-Prolog 5.10.4 and earlier, and other products, does not properly handle code words that are
absent from the decompression table when encountered, which allows remote attackers to trigger an infinite
loop or a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted compressed
stream, a related issue to CVE-2006-1168 and CVE-2011-2895. (CVE-2011-2896)
