CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0136
Tk is a graphical toolkit for the Tcl scripting language.
An input validation flaw was discovered in Tkβs GIF image handling. A
code-size value read from a GIF image was not properly validated before
being used, leading to a buffer overflow. A specially crafted GIF file
could use this to cause a crash or, potentially, execute code with the
privileges of the application using the Tk graphical toolkit.
(CVE-2008-0553)
