Google Chrome before 7.0.517.41 does not properly handle animated GIF
images, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted image.


This does affect webkitgtk 1.2.3 (high CPU consumption, rapid memory consumption) and possibly other versions.
