    Package        : libgd2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-9672
    Debian Bug     : 1143151

    A vulnerability was discovered 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 malformed
    GIF file is processed.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.3-14~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libgd2 packages.

    For the detailed security status of libgd2 please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libgd2

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
