vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7112-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the GD Graphics Library did not perform proper bounds checking while handling BMP
    and WebP files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause a denial of service (application crash).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
