3. Description:

The gd packages provide a graphics library used for the dynamic creation of
images, such as PNG and JPEG.

A missing input sanitization flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was
discovered in the gd library. A specially-crafted GD image file could cause
an application using the gd library to crash or, possibly, execute
arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-3546)

Users of gd should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network.  Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

Red Hat 4 and 5: RHSA-2010:0003-01 Moderate: GD Buffer Overflow

red hat
Calendar Grey January 4, 2010
Dist Redhat Esm H88
Critical security patch released for Ubuntu Linux targeting memory corruption issues in libxml2 libraries.
Updated gd packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

Summary

The gd packages provide a graphics library used for the dynamic creation of images, such as PNG and JPEG.
A missing input sanitization flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was discovered in the gd library. A specially-crafted GD image file could cause an application using the gd library to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when opened. (CVE-2009-3546)
