CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.4 gd to version 2.2.4-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gd package and not the gd package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

The gdImageCreateFromGd2Ctx function in gd_gd2.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted image file.
