Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a stack consumption vulnerability in the libgd2 graphics library which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted imagefilltoborder call.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in libgd2 version 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6.1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgd2 packages.
