| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
libgd2-xpm-dev versions prior to 5.2.4

Description
The issue involves multiple integer overflows in the libgd library, which can lead to a denial of service (application crash) and possibly allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This can be achieved by providing a large value to certain functions, such as
gdImageCopyResized, gdImageCreate, or gdImageCreateTrueColor. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially disrupting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.Recommendations
For libgd2-xpm-dev versions prior to 5.2.4, update to version 5.2.4 or later to resolve the issue.
For libgd2-noxpm versions prior to 5.2.4, update to version 5.2.4 or later to resolve the issue.
For libgd2-noxpm-dev versions prior to 5.2.4, update to version 5.2.4 or later to resolve the issue.
For libgd2-xpm versions prior to 5.2.4, update to version 5.2.4 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable functions, such as
gdImageCopyResized, gdImageCreate, or gdImageCreateTrueColor, until a patch is available.Fix
