Description: Two vulnerabilities have been reported in SDL_image, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise an application using the library.
1) A boundary error within the "LWZReadByte()" function in IMG_gif.c can be exploited to trigger the overflow of a static buffer via a specially crafted GIF file.
2) A boundary error within the "IMG_LoadLBM_RW()" function in IMG_lbm.c can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted IFF ILBM file.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.2.6. Prior versions may also be affected.
