Buffer overflow in ImageIO in Apple iOS before 4.1 on the iPhone and iPod touch allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted GIF file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
