[pkg-GD-devel] Bug#443456: CVE-2007-3996 integer overflows in multiple functions

[Nico Golde]

Package: libgd2
Severity: important
Tags: security

Hi,
a CVE has been issued for libgd:
CVE-2007-3996[0]:
Multiple integer overflows in libgd in PHP before 5.2.4 
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service 
(application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via 
a large (1) srcW or (2) srcH value to the (a) 
gdImageCopyResized function, or a large (3) sy (height) or 
(4) sx (width) value to the (b) gdImageCreate or the (c) 
gdImageCreateTrueColor function.

I can confirm this bug for Debian with looking at the souce 
code.

If you fix this bug please include the CVE id in the 
changelog.
