Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA601] DSA-601-1 libgd

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-601-1 libgd

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

More potential integer overflows have been found in the GD graphics
library which weren't covered by our security advisory
DSA 589. They
could be exploited by a specially crafted graphic and could lead to
the execution of arbitrary code on the victim's machine.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.8.4-17.woody4.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your libgd1 packages.
