Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2018-10717 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The DecodeGifImg function in ngiflib.c in MiniUPnP ngiflib 0.4 does not consider the bounds of the pixels data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (WritePixels heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted GIF file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-10677.. EPSS estimates a 2.02% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
