Name        : gdk-pixbuf2
Product     : Fedora 14
Version     : 2.22.0
Release     : 2.fc14
URL         : http://www.gt.org
Summary     : An image loading library
Description :
gdk-pixbuf is an image loading library that can be extended by loadable
modules for new image formats. It is used by toolkits such as GTK+ or
clutter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

It was found that gdk-pixbuf GIF image loader gdk_pixbuf__gif_image_load() routine did not properly handle certain return values from their subroutines. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted GIF image, which once opened in an application, linked against gdk-pixbuf would lead to gdk-pixbuf
to return partially initialized pixbuf structure, possibly having huge width and height, leading to that particular application termination due excessive memory use.

The CVE identifier of CVE-2011-2485 has been assigned to this issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
