Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55789
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 3 FEDORA-2005-1045 (libungif)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libungif
announced via advisory FEDORA-2005-1045.

The libungif package contains a shared library of functions for
loading and saving GIF format image files. The libungif library can
load any GIF file, but it will save GIFs only in uncompressed format
(i.e., it won't use the patented LZW compression used to save normal
compressed GIF files).

Install the libungif package if you need to manipulate GIF files. You
should also install the libungif-progs package.

Update Information:

The libungif package contains a shared library of functions
for loading and saving GIF format image files. The libungif
library can load any GIF file, but it will save GIFs only in
uncompressed format
it will not use the patented LZW
compression used to save normal compressed GIF files.

A bug was found in the way libungif handles colormaps. An
attacker could create a GIF file in such a way that could
cause out-of-bounds writes and register corruptions. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the
name CVE-2005-2974 to this issue.

All users of libungif should upgrade to the updated
packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this
issue.
* Fri Oct 21 2005 Matthias Clasen 4.1.3-1.fc3.2
- Fix several register corruptions and an out-of-bounds write.
