How to Fix CVE-2022-23435

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Android gif drawable dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable fixed: 1.2.24 
<dependency>
    <groupId>pl.droidsonroids.gif</groupId>
    <artifactId>android-gif-drawable</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.24</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=pl.droidsonroids.gif

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-23435, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=pl.droidsonroids.gif

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Android gif drawable in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.2.24), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=pl.droidsonroids.gif command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling, where the product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any intended restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated. In Android gif drawable, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

decoding.c in android-gif-drawable before 1.2.24 does not limit the maximum length of a comment, leading to denial of service.
