CVE-2008-3230

Published: 18 July 2008

The ffmpeg lavf demuxer allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted GIF file, possibly related to gstreamer, as demonstrated by lol-giftopnm.gif.

Reproducer is here: http://libcaca.zoy.org/attachment/wiki/zzuf/bugs/lol-giftopnm.gif?format=raw
This is just a dos, and upstream fixed this by removing the gif demuxer
which would cause a regression for a stable release, so I opt to
not fix this...
