GLSA-200411-08 : GD: Integer overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 15619

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200411-08 (GD: Integer overflow)

 infamous41md found an integer overflow in the memory allocation procedure of the GD routine that handles loading PNG image files.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to load a carefully crafted PNG image file in a GD-powered application, or send a PNG image to a web application which uses GD PNG decoding functions. This could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the program loading the image.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All GD users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/gd-2.0.32'
