EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : giflib (EulerOS-SA-2020-2345)

high Nessus Plugin ID 142269

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the giflib package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

- 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)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected giflib package.
