{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-45666","details":"stb_image is a single file MIT licensed library for processing images.  It may look like `stbi__load_gif_main` doesn’t give guarantees about the content of output value `*delays` upon failure. Although it sets `*delays` to zero at the beginning, it doesn’t do it in case the image is not recognized as GIF and a call to `stbi__load_gif_main_outofmem` only frees possibly allocated memory in `*delays` without resetting it to zero. Thus it would be fair to say the caller of `stbi__load_gif_main` is responsible to free the allocated memory in `*delays` only if `stbi__load_gif_main` returns a non null value. However at the same time the function may return null value, but fail to free the memory in `*delays` if internally `stbi__convert_format` is called and fails. Thus the issue may lead to a memory leak if the caller chooses to free `delays` only when `stbi__load_gif_main` didn’t fail or to a double-free if the `delays` is always freed","modified":"2026-09-15T09:02:22.921628160Z","published":"2023-10-21T00:15:09.077Z","upstream":["CVE-2023-45666"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-45666"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libstb","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libstb?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0~git20220908.8b5f1f3+ds-1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1.1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1.1~exp1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1.2","0.0~git20240715.f7f20f39fe4f+ds-1","0.0~git20241109.5c20573+ds-1","0.0~git20250907.fede005+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2023-45666.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libstb","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libstb?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0~git20241109.5c20573+ds-1","0.0~git20250907.fede005+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2023-45666.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libstb","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libstb?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0~git20241109.5c20573+ds-1","0.0~git20250907.fede005+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2023-45666.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
