  - The gdImageCreateFromXpm function in gdxpm.c in libgd, as used in PHP 5.4.26 and earlier, allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted
    color table in an XPM file. (CVE-2014-2497)

  - The GetCode_ function in gd_gif_in.c in GD 2.1.1 and earlier, as used in PHP before 5.5.21 and 5.6.x
    before 5.6.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application
    crash) via a crafted GIF image that is improperly handled by the gdImageCreateFromGif function.
