Sample file which crashes GIF loader (21.95 KB, image/gif)
2004-08-25 19:49 UTC, Joe Barnhart 		Details

Description Joe Barnhart 2004-08-25 19:47:44 UTC 
Trying to load GIFs that are screenshots created under OS/2.  The GIF files load
in Windows XP, Adobe PS, etc., but cause Gimp's GIF load function to crash:

(gimp-2.0.exe:2220): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: gimp-2.0.exe: wire_read(): error

I have a sample GIF but nowhere to put it.

Comment 2 Manish Singh 2004-08-25 22:25:17 UTC 
The problem is that in this gif file, the logical screen is bogus (0x0), which
is what the gifload plugin uses as width and height for gimp_image_new. We
should make the plugin workaround this sort of thing.
Comment 3 Manish Singh 2004-08-25 22:34:42 UTC 
Fixed in both HEAD and stable branch:

        * plug-ins/common/gifload.c: Guard against bogus logical screen
        dimensions. Fixes bug #151053.
