Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in libgd2, a library for
programmatic graphics creation and manipulation. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

  • CVE-2007-0455
    Kees Cook discovered a buffer overflow in libgd2’s font renderer. An
    attacker could cause denial of service (application crash) and
    possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted string with a JIS
    encoded font. This issue only affects the oldstable distribution
    (etch).
  • CVE-2009-3546
    Tomas Hoger discovered a boundary error in the “_gdGetColors()”
    function. An attacker could conduct a buffer overflow or buffer
    over-read attacks via a crafted GD file.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.33-5.2etch2.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-3+lenny1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (squeeze) and the unstable
distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version
2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-3.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgd2 packages.
