Fedora 26: Critical gd Security Update 2017-09-02 Memory Flaws

The gd graphics library allows your code to quickly draw images

complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from

other images, and flood fills, and to write out the result as a PNG or

JPEG file. This is particularly useful in Web applications, where PNG

and JPEG are two of the formats accepted for inline images by most

browsers. Note that gd is not a paint program.
