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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - giflib: heap buffer overflow in gif2rgb (CVE-2016-3977)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in giffix.c in giffix in giflib 5.1.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (program crash) via crafted image and logical screen width fields in a GIF file. (CVE-2015-7555)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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.
