CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libgd/libgd to version 2.2.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The GetCode_ function in gd_gif_in.c in GD 2.1.1 and earlier, as used in PHP before 5.5.21 and 5.6.x before 5.6.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted GIF image that is improperly handled by the gdImageCreateFromGif function.
