A flaw was found in giflib. A remote attacker can exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EGifGCBToExtension function by providing a specially crafted Graphics Control Extension (GCE) block. This allows overwriting an existing GCE block without proper size validation, leading to a denial of service (DoS) on the system.
