The gif_read_lzw function in filter/image-gif.c in CUPS 1.4.8 and earlier
does not properly handle the first code word in an LZW stream, which allows
remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly
execute arbitrary code, via a crafted stream, a different vulnerability
than CVE-2011-2896.

Author Note
mdeslaur This also affects cups 1.5.x and isn’t fixed in 1.5.0 gimp was fixed correctly with a single commit, so doesn’t have this issue, which is an incomplete fix.
