Code execution via unchecked LZW array indexes
Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Buffer overflow in bitbank2 AnimatedGIF 2.2.0 allows remote attackers to crash applications or execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF file. DecodeLZW uses unchecked LZW code and pDraw->iTBD indexes while decoding compressed data, permitting out-of-bounds dictionary access and output-buffer writes. Exploitation requires an application using the library to process the attacker-supplied GIF; successful corruption crashes that process or executes code in its context.
