GD Graphics Library PNG image integer overflow
| gd-png-bo (17866) |  High Risk |
Description:
GD Graphics Library (gd) is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the gdImageCreateFromPngCtx function in the gd_png.c file. By creating a specially-crafted PNG image, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system, once the image is processed by gd.
