via http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3658:
Buffer overflow in the imageloadfont function in ext/gd/gd.c in PHP
4.4.x before 4.4.9 and PHP 5.2 before 5.2.6-r6 allows context-dependent
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute
arbitrary code via a crafted font file.
apparently user-supplied fonts are common in some bulletin board type
webapps, so this should be treated. patch is already imported into
svn but unreleased:
