    <p>
    A anonymous researcher discovered that an error in the handling of a
    GIF image with a zero width field block leads to a memory corruption
    flaw.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to run a specially crafted Java applet
    or application that would load a crafted GIF image, which could result
    in escalation of privileges and unauthorized access to system
    resources.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
