This is related to GetCode_ and     gdImageCreateFromGifCtx.(CVE-2018-5711)

  - The gdImageCreateFromGd2Ctx function in gd_gd2.c in the     GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.4 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted image     file.(CVE-2016-10167)

libgd developers report :

Double free vulnerability in the gdImagePngPtr function in libgd2 before 2.2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors related to a palette with no colors.

A double-free vulnerability was discovered in the gdImagePngPtr() function 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 specially crafted file is processed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6.1+deb7u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgd2 packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-3410-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) incorrectly handled certain malformed PNG     images. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the GD Graphics Library to crash, resulting in a     denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
