Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
A flaw was found in the GIF parser of GdkPixbuf’s LZW decoder. When an invalid symbol is encountered during decompression, the decoder sets the reported output size to the full buffer length rather than the actual number of written bytes. This logic error results in uninitialized sections of the buffer being included in the output, potentially leaking arbitrary memory contents in the processed image.

Technical Context
Information disclosure occurs when an application inadvertently reveals sensitive data to unauthorized actors through error messages, logs, or improper access controls. This vulnerability is classified as Information Exposure (CWE-200).
Affected Products
Affected products: Gnome Gdkpixbuf 2.0.0
Remediation
Implement proper access controls. Sanitize error messages in production. Review logging practices to avoid capturing sensitive data.
