Synopsis:	Important: giflib security update
Issue date:	2009-04-22
CVE Names:	CVE-2005-2974 CVE-2005-3350

Several flaws were discovered in the way giflib decodes GIF images. An
attacker could create a carefully crafted GIF image that could cause an
application using giflib to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code 
when opened by a victim. (CVE-2005-2974, CVE-2005-3350)

All running applications using giflib must be restarted for the update 
to take effect.
