GD Graphics Library Remote Integer Overflow Vulnerability
info 	discussion 	exploit 	solution 	credit 	help 	

The GD Graphics Library (gdlib) is affected by an integer overflow that facilitates a heap overflow. This issue is due to a failure of the library to do proper sanity checking on size values contained within image format files.

An attacker may leverage this issue to manipulate process heap memory, potentially leading to code execution and compromise of the computer running the affected library.

No known exploit out in the wild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
