Ibrahim El-Sayed discovered that the GD library incorrectly handled certain malformed Tiff images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted Tiff image, an attacker could cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-6911)

Ke Liu discovered that the GD library incorrectly handled certain integers when processing WebP images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted WebP image, an attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10. (CVE-2016-7568)

Emmanuel Law discovered that the GD library incorrectly handled certain strings when creating images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image, an attacker could cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-8670).

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.
