Debian DSA-601-1 : libgd - integer overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 15844

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

More potential integer overflows have been found in the GD graphics library which weren't covered by our security advisory DSA 589. They could be exploited by a specially crafted graphic and could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the victim's machine.

Solution

Upgrade the libgd1 packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.4-17.woody4.
