CVE-2017-6961
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
An issue was discovered in apng2gif 1.7. There is improper sanitization of user input causing huge memory allocations, resulting in a crash. This is related to the read_chunk function using the pChunk->size value (within the PNG file) to determine the amount of memory to allocate.
