Buffer overflow in the ReadImage function in generic/tkImgGIF.c in Tcl (Tcl/Tk) 8.4.13 through 8.4.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multi-frame interlaced GIF files in which later frames are smaller than the first. NOTE: this issue is due to an incorrect patch for CVE-2007-5378.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-5137 is a Tcl/Tk GIF image parsing flaw. A specially crafted multi-frame interlaced GIF could overflow memory when processed, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution. The bundle does not show active exploitation or KEV listing. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems or bundled applications using affected Tcl/Tk versions to display or process untrusted GIF files. The structured affected-product fields are incomplete, so validate against installed packages and vendor advisories. Treat as high priority only where legacy Tcl/Tk image handling remains exposed to untrusted GIF content. Modern patched systems are likely lower urgency, but unsupported embedded copies require specific review. Mitigation focus: Apply applicable Tcl/Tk security updates from the operating system or vendor advisory.; Upgrade affected Tcl/Tk 8.4.13 through 8.4.15 packages where present.; Limit processing of untrusted GIF files until affected components are updated..
