Xavier Roche discovered that libgd’s function for reading GIF image data did not sufficiently verify its validity. Specially crafted GIF images could cause an infinite loop which used up all available CPU resources. Since libgd is often used in PHP and Perl web applications, this could lead to a remote Denial of Service vulnerability.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
