A flaw was found in libgd. Processing a specially crafted GIF file allows a remote attacker to trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in an application crash and a denial of service. Arbitrary code execution is possible in theory, but considered highly unlikely because standard image decompression and pixel manipulation generally destroy the exploit payload.

CWE-120 - Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')

Successful exploitation can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service, or in arbitrary code execution. However, arbitrary code execution is highly unlikely because standard image decompression and pixel manipulation generally destroy the exploit payload.\n\nFor these reasons, this vulnerability has been rated with an important severity.\n\nDefault Red Hat Enterprise Linux security features, including SELinux enforcement, Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and NX (No-Execute) memory protection, significantly increase the difficulty of achieving arbitrary code execution, limiting the impact of this vulnerability.",
