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.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1622-1 advisory.

  - 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)

  - A memory leak (out-of-memory) in gif2rgb in util/gif2rgb.c in giflib 5.1.4 allows remote attackers trigger     an out of memory exception or denial of service via a gif format file. (CVE-2021-40633)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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.
