nghttp2 and giflib Buffer/Memory Issues

Giflib 5.2.2 contains a buffer overflow in the EGifGCBToExtension function that fails to validate allocated memory when processing Graphic Control Extension blocks, enabling remote attackers to trigger denial of service conditions. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, though no patch is currently available. The flaw affects any application using the vulnerable giflib version to process GIF files from untrusted sources.

nghttp2 before version 1.68.1 fails to properly validate internal state when session termination APIs are invoked, allowing an attacker to send a malformed frame that triggers an assertion failure and crashes the application. This denial of service vulnerability affects applications using the nghttp2 HTTP/2 library and can be triggered remotely without authentication or user interaction. No patch is currently available to remediate this issue.
