Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libgd2, a library for programmatic graphics creation and manipulation, which may result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed file is processed.

Multiple security issues have been found in the GD Graphics Library.
They may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or causing application crash.

CVE-2016-9317

Signed integer overflow in gd_io.c

CVE-2016-10167

Improper handling of issing image data can cause crash

CVE-2016-10168

GD2 stores the number of horizontal and vertical chunks as words (i.e.
2 byte unsigned). These values are multiplied and assigned to an int when reading the image, what can cause integer overflows.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6.1+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgd2 packages.
