giflib CVE-2018-11490 Local Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

giflib is prone to a local heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.

A local attacker can exploit this issue cause a denial-of-service condition or possibly have unspecified other impact.

giflib 3.0.x is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
