The GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) through 2.3.2 has an out-of-bounds read because of the lack of certain gdGetBuf and gdPutBuf return value checks.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7112-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the GD Graphics Library did not perform proper bounds checking while handling BMP     and WebP files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a denial of service (application crash).
