Comment 15 Siddharth Sharma 2014-08-27 16:27:32 UTC
Explanation:

Malformed gif image file causes affected version of Qt or the applications 
using it to crash. Qt uses its gif plugin to open images having .gif as file 
extension, as the gif image is malformed plugin cannot parse the contents of   
the file properly and tries to create image which causes NULL pointer dereference.
