NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgd2 package and not the libgd2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The gdImageCreateFromTgaCtx function in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file.
