Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5766)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Integer overflow in the _gd2GetHeader function in gd_gd2.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3, as used in PHP before 5.5.37, 5.6.x before 5.6.23, and 7.x before 7.0.8,. A remote attacker can use crafted chunk dimensions in an image. to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-6207)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Integer overflow in the _gdContributionsAlloc function in gd_interpolation.c in GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory write or memory consumption) via unspecified vectors.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-6128)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The gdImageCropThreshold function in gd_crop.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3, as used in PHP before 7.0.9, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an invalid color index.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-6132)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The gdImageCreateFromTgaCtx function in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-6214)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

gd_tga.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file.
