Synopsis
========
The PNG image decoding routines in the GD library contain an integer
overflow that may allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of
the program decoding a malicious PNG image.
Background
==========
The GD graphics library is an open source library which allows
programmers to easily generate PNG, JPEG, GIF and WBMP images from many
different programming languages.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/gd < 2.0.32 >= 2.0.32
Description
===========
infamous41md found an integer overflow in the memory allocation
procedure of the GD routine that handles loading PNG image files.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to load a carefully crafted PNG
image file in a GD-powered application, or send a PNG image to a web
application which uses GD PNG decoding functions. This could
potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the
program loading the image.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All GD users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/gd-2.0.32"
