This update fixes two file format vulnerabilities in giflib and one in the gif2rgb utility.
CVE-2016-3977
Heap-based buffer overflow in util/gif2rgb.c in gif2rgb allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)
via the background color index in a GIF file
CVE-2018-11490
The DGifDecompressLine function in dgif_lib.c, 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-2019-15133
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.
For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.6-11+deb8u2.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.4-0.4+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your giflib packages.
