[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : gd
Date : December 5, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in gd:

The _gdGetColors function in gd_gd.c in PHP 5.2.11 and 5.3.0, and the
GD Graphics Library 2.x, does not properly verify a certain colorsTotal
structure member, which might allow remote attackers to conduct
buffer overflow or buffer over-read attacks via a crafted GD file,
a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3293. NOTE: some of these
details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2009-3546).

This update fixes this vulnerability.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
