| 21 |
code. |

Description |
| 48 |
=========== |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
A anonymous researcher discovered that an error in the handling of a |
| 51 |
GIF image with a zero width field block leads to a memory corruption |
| 52 |
flaw. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Impact |
| 55 |
====== |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
An attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted Java applet |
| 58 |
or application that would load a crafted GIF image, which could result |
| 59 |
in escalation of privileges and unauthorized access to system |
| 60 |
resources. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Workaround |
| 63 |
========== |
