Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libgd2, a library for
programmatic graphics creation and manipulation, which may result in
denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a
malformed file is processed.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.1.0-5+deb8u9.

For the testing distribution (stretch) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgd2 packages.
