Until a fix is available, avoid opening untrusted GBR files with affected versions of gbsplay.

Description

Gbsplay versions up to 0.0.103 contain a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the gbr_open() function within gbs.c. The vulnerability arises because the function does not verify the file length before scanning the GBR ROM title field. An attacker can supply a specially crafted GBR file sized between 0x21 and 0x162 bytes to cause a heap buffer over-read, potentially crashing the application or leaking memory.
