Description

• CVE-2016-6911 (denial of service)

It was found that the dynamicGetbuf() function doesn’t check for out-
of-bounds read and returns a wrong return code, leading to denial of
service.

• CVE-2016-7568 (arbitrary code execution)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
found in gd. A specially crafted image, when converted to webp, could
cause the application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

• CVE-2016-8670 (arbitrary code execution)

A stack based buffer overflow was found in the dynamicGetbuf function
when passing negative rlen as size to memcpy().

• CVE-2016-9138 (arbitrary code execution)

An use after free vulnerability was found in unserialize() via
DateInterval::__wakeup(), leading to arbitrary code execution.

Impact

A remote attacker is able to execute arbitrary code or crash the
application via various vectors.
