21 <title>GD: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
22 <synopsis>
23 The GD library is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability.

43 Tomas Hoger reported that the _gdGetColors() function in gd_gd.c does
44 not properly verify the colorsTotal struct member, possibly leading to
45 a buffer overflow.

48 <impact type="normal">
49 <p>
50 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image
51 file with a program using the GD library, possibly resulting in the
52 remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
53 running the application, or a Denial of Service condition.
54 </p>
55 </impact>
56 <workaround>
57 <p>
58 There is no known workaround at this time.
59 </p>
60 </workaround>
61 <resolution>
62 <p>
63 All GD users should upgrade to the latest version:
64 </p>
65 <code>
66 # emerge --sync
67 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/gd-2.0.35-r1&quot;</code>
68 <p>
69 NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
70 available since November 21, 2009. It is likely that your system is
71 already no longer affected by this issue.
