Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for giflib CESA-2009:0444 centos5 i386
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'giflib'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'giflib'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The giflib packages contain a shared library of functions for loading and
saving GIF image files. This library is API and ABI compatible with
libungif, the library that supported uncompressed GIF image files while the
Unisys LZW patent was in effect.

Several flaws were discovered in the way giflib decodes GIF images. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image that could cause an
application using giflib to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when
opened by a victim. (CVE-2005-2974, CVE-2005-3350)

All users of giflib are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues. All running
applications using giflib must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Affected Software/OS:
giflib on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.

CVSS Score:
7.5
