==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

GDK-PixBuf could be made to hang if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
– gdk-pixbuf: GDK Pixbuf library

Details:

Melvin Kool discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle
certain GIF images. If an user or automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted GIF file, a remote attacker could use this flaw
to cause GDK-PixBuf to hang, resulting in a denial of service.
