Mandriva: Updated gd packages fix buffer overflow Print E-mail
User Rating:      How can I rate this item?
Posted by Benjamin D. Thomas   
Mandrake Buffer overflow in the LWZReadByte() function in gd_gif_in.c in GD prior to 2.0.34 allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via a GIF file with input_code_size greater than MAX_LWZ_BITS, which triggers an overflow when initializing the table array. This was originally fixed in PHP's embedded GD with MDKSA-2006:162; patches had not been applied to the system libgd at that time. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
